Very nice flowers, they sure have quite a few petals. Did you grow those from seed? How long did it take to mature?

Thank Toadstar. Yes, all grown from seed -- I can't remember how long it took for each plant to mature (produce cephaliums) -- a few years for most I believe. Of course, the great bonus of their flowering is the intoxicating fragrance that permeates the air!
