I'm not sure wether i'm expecting a queen or a princess, but the show is going to be spectacular!!!

I have been watching this bud swell over the last few days and today it is loosening up. Sadly one of the two buds I reported in another thread has aborted, but this one has survived to maturity. I have friends coming over for a BarBQ as well so it will be quite a special event. I'll post the pics of the open flower later today or tommorrow.

Here are the pics. It's been quite a night, I'm almost too sad to go to bed. I will just keep my fingers crossed for a repeat performance next year.

7:15pm

8:00pm

9:30pm

10:30pm

The flower didn't smell as strong as I thought it would which is a shame, but it made up for this by it's size. 8 Inches!

Coolsox, an absolutely cool and beautiful plant and bloom. I can't make up my mind if I like the 9:30 p.m. or 10:30 p.m. picture the best.
