Really excited about this one!

I've been semi-obsessed with this plant since seeing it in an Australian exhibit at a conservatory in Columbus, Ohio many years ago. I finally obtained seed from AustralianSeed.com. I'd had the seed for four years before even trying to grow them, as I couldn't figure out how to set them up and have any hope of success here in Florida.

I'm now 3/4 successful with this plant:

1: Getting seedlings from seed
2: Getting seedlings well past the seedling stage into healthy, growing plants
3: Growing out the plants to maturity and blooming

I have one more stage to go before I'll feel really successful...

4: Obtaining viable seed from my own seed-grown plants

So far, so good!
