Very pretty. Does it smell nice?

Yes, it did smell nice.

I think I need to cut the dead flower since the whole leaf is turning yellow except the bottom and a line. Rather weird.

it looks beautiful
but it lasted 12 hours? that's long

Happy for you an glad you shared it with us.
That is so different .
Love it .

Thanks.

I know, it lasted a very long time. I think it took too much energy form the plant since the leave that had the flower turned yellow.
