    Bought it two years ago and started to develop a spike last November and finally bloomed on February :D....I love this species.

    Beautiful! I love this species too. The big leaves make me smile. Flowers aren't too shabby either. :)

    Nice! I love gigantea, but don't have much luck with it...

    Very cool! How's the fragrance? I smelled one a few months ago that was a little weird.

    Well now that you mention it, my best friend was at my house a few minutes ago and told me that it has a fragrance and when I smell it...it smells like fruit loops and smells during the night because I smelled it during the day and has no aroma.
