George

no i wouldn't agree,... cause i think it's a "classic" gigantea
(wich are to my opinion even more attractive then the yellow/red ones

 

[Melmoth]

Steven,
Thanks for ID ing my gigantea as being one of the classics.Wasn't sure.It's my first obviously. So S.gigantea it is.

Nono, you're supposed to get drunk *after* you've repotted the pede, silly!

You must be one experienced keeper, or have nerves of steel, or maybe both, because that's a transfer I wouldn't attempt sober with a 10 foot pole and a space suit!

It does look like a really impressive specimen, though - the ultimate Dark Side!

Gigantea Arrives!!!

Well Guys,
My Gigantea arrived today.Professionally packed by John (fatbloke).The pede could have fallen down a lift shaft and not been damaged. He is absolutely awesome. Breath taking.I understand now why you say these are the ultimate pede Steven.Really grateful to John for getting him for me,as I was unable to make the show as I had planned. George

 

[fatbloke]

Greensleeves

i wouldnt call myself that experienced or have nerves of steel i call it stupidity when trying to do stuff like that with a hangover
