It's so nice to have blooms inside in the dead of Winter. A real pick-me-up!

I don't know about the stalk heights either, grrrlgeek or why your blooms are flopping apart. How warm is the room they're in and how much light do they get? Mine are in a NW window in indirect sunlight, such as it is these days, and the temp is 70-72 degrees. I'd like to know the answer to your stalk question too, and can somebody fill me in why some produce buds before leaves?

Here's a bud today on a 10" stalk that should be Benfica. Actually there's two stalks and buds but the other one is very short and hasn't yet begun to open. Will post a pic of the blooms in a few days.

Does anybody else have blooms to share?
