How big is the plant? I know boisserianum can get quite big in no time. Can you post a picture of the whole plant, if you don't mind? Thanks! :D

The besseae seems to have contributed nothing to reducing plant size. I knew it was a bad idea when I bought it as a windowsill grower, but I just can't resist flavum hybrids.

Thanks for posting! Your plant sure looks nice and big. I have seen HUGE boisserianums, so not surprised by its monstrous size. That was the main reason I didn't get a boisserianum, I just don't have the room for one, maybe someday when I have more grow space.

The pinkish bloom facing away is a Phrag Demetria, I posted some pics a few days ago here:

The petals have grown and twisted substantially since I posted, and I really need to take new pics.
It's the massive LS plant on the lower shelf, the spike's over 2 feet tall atm and still growing.
