Helenae does really well for me, and I'm also in NC. I wonder if there's something about our climate that they like? Maybe you and I have found the secret to growing them. Either way, congrats on these awards! Very exciting. I like both of the plants you've posted recently, yet I think this is the clone that I prefer. It's Bootyful.

They did well for me in Jersey under lights also... They're just older now.
