When I first purchased Skinwalker in 2006, I received a skimpy fan. The spring of 2007 it died from crown rot. I liked the flower so much that I decided to give it another try. I purchased it again and received a nice clump of 3 to 4 fans. I have had it since and have not babied it much. It does fairly well in my climate although it did not bloom this year because of the drought we have had this summer. Stats are pretty true. As a hybridizer, its only downside is that it will not set pods for me. It's pollen is very good though. I am sure that it probably does extremely well in southern gardens. In the north I would say that it has acceptable growth and very nice bloom.
