This flower is blooming in Springfield, MO, in the next week.  Pretty awesome to have one this close.  Some people go cross-country to see one in bloom.  It seems that only around five bloom as cultivated flowers, versus wild, each year worldwide.

I’d like to give a big Kudos and thanks to the Botanical Group here for presenting it to the public.  (More to come as it blooms)
