Nice, Rich! :) I've never tried to grow one of these... are they difficult? What kind of temp range and light do they need?

All accounts said they are difficult but I just had to give it a try. I got the seeds for only $10 at the San Francisco show. Only three of seven seeds sprouted and only one has bloomed. I used a terrestrial mix(African Violets) , full sun , lots of water and the plant was near the swamp cooler where temp stays around 75 degrees. I planted them in various media on the 30th of April.
