Thanks! Its being delivered today. Even though I have gotten one of my browneas to bloom (and I am not sure exactly which species it is, I got it in a trade about 15 years ago from someone in your neck of the woods as grandiceps, but the flowers on a few species look remarkably similar) it is a shy bloomer. Its a real water hog too.
I think that the may be as close as I can get up here in the steamboat humidity to grow one of the Protea related plants
