Ok so it’s going to have three flowers this year. I’ve done everything advised- bright position, cold dry winter, talked nicely to it etc.

A great success in comparison to my track record with this plant!

Three are infinitely better than in your previous years, so you have done well

Yes Tony you’re right it’s all relative!

If you've set up all the conditions needed to trigger flowering then surely all that's required for there to be more flowers is to get the plant a bit bigger?

It’s orange sized now. Patience is needed I guess.

Well, you did better than me! A similar sized plant started with about 7 buds, but only one is developing, the rest aborted!
