A fantastic display Mike
I had a plant for 10 years before losing it last year. It never flowered and I'm on the hunt for a replacement

What is the secret to flowering these, Mike? I have four plants happily growing, but never putting on buds...

Hello Christian
I suspect the early and plentiful sunshine worked wonders for it this year. Most years it only manages one or two flowers. I give it maximum light (but I find it can scorch) and a cool winter rest like other plants from this altitude.

Thanks, Mike! They get sun and a cold winter rest here, so I shall be patient... Your plant certainly put on a beautiful show for you!
