    I've been growing this for about 5 years. Last year I hung this up so it got more light and I am rather amazed at how much better it has done. The lip is 1" wide.

    Wow, tell me those smell like mushrooms? They really look like they would. Nicely done.

    Mike, last night when I smelled them they didn't have a fragrance. This morning, just for you, I checked again. Now they smell like mushrooms. Is it my imagination, the power of suggestion, I don't know.

    Oh, man. This could be really, really bad.

    Nice bloom, Marni.
