Nice. Less brown in the flowers than most.

Yes, mine out today has the 'more typical' dirty brown/yellow flowers:

This one has a nice yellow flower.
This one had two tatty arms as top growth which I removed in late March.
Over the last few months it has grown just one new 'segment' which has flowered today.
In a 6 cm pot.

Tony, do you find removing old top growth helps in the long run and promotes flowering? Presumably a stem that has flowered before won't flower again?
