I've had mine for a few years and it is now getting it's sixth set of flowers for this year. I have decided that they must be root bound and think they are are near death to form buds and bloom. I have mine in a large cache pot and we have had heavey rains that would fill up the whole thing with water and I'm sure "Ugly Momma" as I call her, thought she was a goner each time. Each time I poured the water off of her (a couple days late) she immediately set buds. Hear is a pic of her and one close up.Lou
