Is my Pleione pregnant?

I tried to self it back in March; what do you all think?

I'm posting a picture of its "baby," too (the new growth).



(I took these with my new iPhone; the camera does seem to be improved.)

The flower:



Pleione formosona

Thanks! As for flasking, I think it's time for me to start making enquiries (I didn't earlier because this was my first attempt and I didn't think it'd work).

If you don't want to flask it, You can try Meyers Conservatory.
Flask and Established Seedling Sales, and Flasking Programs I use Troy for all my flasking, he has very reasonable prices. I would love to have a flask!!

congrats! I would say you should try flasking them yourself. It's very fun and rewarding.
My first effort has not yet showed any results but it was something fun to try.

If it does work, I may have pleiones for many in a couple of years! Mine is out on the porch (of course) in the shade of some big dens, and so far has been a very easy plant! Nice foliage, too.
