Just wanted to show this one, its the same plant that carried a 15cm flower last fall, now with a capsule and 3 sideshoots a double-flower. Seems that the flower will be smaller than last time (typ around 10cm), but who can complain?
Quite special vietnamense

doing really well, daddy.
Obviously due to K-Lite.

One seedpod and two buds on a single spike! 
and beautiful leaves! Nice!
don't think it has anything to do with K-lite though. haha

Amazing, Bjorn! It seems to have a really fat capsule/fruit (but I've never seen another capsule of this species).

Seems like it is flowering on smaller growths (fewer leaves too). Is that a good thing?
No idea. This is one plant out of a flask that excelled with its vigor. The leaves are bigger than the rest of my vietnamense(flowering) Stock, in general most of my plants are relatively small, I would say that a leaf is approximately 3 inch long normally. This beast is double sized, the flower was 50% larger than normal, the pod is significantly fatter than I have seen them before, so my guess is that might be some polyploidity lurking around. It will be interesting to see whether the seeds are viable and what eventually the offspring might bring.
That smells like polyploidy to me! It should breed fine if it's tetraploid, which can occur spontaneously under in vitro conditions.
Are the leaves thicker and beefier as well?

You know colchicine causes gene damage, right?
only if you smoke it.
