It's about 3ft wide. Still a tiny thing, but, I'm done waiting around to set pods. Chances are, it won't bloom to potential in my lifetime. Of course, chances are I won't live to see the offspring bloom, either, but whatever. (I made roth x true adductum @Tony)View attachment 52844
Jeez the pot on that SOB! Looks like it’s full of roots too
 
Nah. This is nowhere near top quality and DEFINITELY nowhere near the 40cm monsters that Xavier eyes with suspicion. It's just a nice flower, and in chilly PA, this may be as good as it gets.

That said, it should be doing more than it is. Just carried trauma...they take years to recover from a setback like that, and honestly, since I have access to good genetics thanks to friends, it's easier & faster to make a new generation and select than it is to wait for this thing to recover.

lol im just kidding. Hopefully it sets and you get good germination. Multis for sure, even some complex stuff I’ve rescued can take a year or so to really get going (at least that’s not a decade though). I like your cross. Seriously when was the last time someone had a real Johanna Burkhardt?
