Perfect From the Start

Arrived in great condition with a growth ready for blooming. Not only did I get to experience the night bloom two weeks after it’s arrival but one month later I got to experience another one. Not only a great looking plant but it seems to do nothing but thrive. Possibly my favorite purchase from this site.
