Gosh, based on your Phaius reports , mine wont be open until the 4th of July!
This was a division I got from a local breeder , Paul Storm. I've had it a couple of years but it is just now blooming for the first time.
There's another spike on the other side that may or may not open properly, fingers crossed!

Paul used to work at Sea God Nursery which was owned by Raymond Burr ( the actor). It took me a few years to convince Paul that I was worthy of this plant and I'm so happy to have it blooming now!
