    First wakeriana I've been able to grow, let alone flower. I'm rather impressed by this one.

    That is a beautiful flower! What did you do differently this time that made the plant respond so well?

    First up, I believe the particular clone is a better & easier grower. The use of perlite only as a potting mix has done well. Lastly, I looked at the way the plant grows naturally & how its grow in cultivation, then adapted this to the way I grow Catts. So far, so good.
