Nice! 'Looks like a happy plant to me.

thank you! Best thing I ever did for my lowland plants was buying them a grow tent--everything in there is going nuts.

Not the most spectacular photo ever (hooray for iphone cameras!), but I caught one of the flowers this morning after missing the last two. How cute!

Very nice! Too little petiolaris activity on the forum for my taste so this is nice addition.

Something really appeals to me about the extra-stalked flower buds.

Agreed! I know they're less common in cultivation, but they really deserve more attention. I've got some falconeri hanging around too, maybe they'll show up in a thread one day if I get around to taking some good pictures.

Benurmanii, there's definitely something to that. They just look great.
