You are all so lucky.....silly story that I have....I always wanted one of these, I found a small cutting on ebay and potted it up, then I found a lady selling a huge pot full on ebay, so I purchased that, then she put another even bigger pot full on ebay, so I purchased that, then she put the mother plant which was over 30 years old, so I got that (can you tell how much I wanted this plant!) Anyway I gave my next door neighbor the first little cutting I had since I had the other 3 huge plants. Last month she had a bloom on it.....that little cutting had a bloom! However my 3 HUGE plants have nothing....it's so sad, I keep wishing and hoping. I read so many forums, I tried the banana peels, I tried the beer formula (much to the weird looks of my neighbors), I know they are pot bound and I try to hold off on the watering until they beg.....I want blooms!!! It's been a year now....oh well fingers are still crossed.

Love your pictures. When my plant at my neighbors bloomed we had a little get together with all the neighbors to watch it bloom, it was really amazing.
