Dear Paul,

Thanks for sharing this news with us!    A happy event indeed.   Perhaps Dr. Hay (if he reads thsi) may be so kind as to try to determine from wence this plant came, if by chance from a Jim Symon seed collection?    I`m sorry that you missed seeing this amazing bloom.   Any details as to how tall the bloom was, etc.??

The Best,
