Optimara Paris ... from Selective Gardener

I got this plant along with an order a while back (probably a year), ... only to see the original plant dwindle in size until it ultimately gave up the ghost.

This time I followed the advice from you guys to take a couple leaves and try to propagate the plant before I totally lost it. I didn't have a lot of confidence, as this was my second attempt with the plant and I was thinking that I couldn't give it what it needed.

However, the leaves did take, and a tiny new plant started. It slowly grew to the size you see in the photo below, and it bloomed for the first time about a month ago. It's a little beauty.
