Today, there were 5 flowers on my 'Kona'.

Nice winter color
That is simply gorgeous!
Awesome Andy. Mine died for some reason this summer. Have no clue, like almost overnight it was gone
Brical, Yours looks like mine. It blooms in Winter because I prune severely in Spring when I put it outside for the Summer. It spends most of the Summer recuperating so by the time I bring it back in in Autumn it's loaded with buds. I give it only one shot of food in Spring, it sits on the floor in front of a large south facing window for the Winter.
This is what it/they looked like last Spring.

Brical, The smaller one was potted into the brown pot last June right after the first pic was taken.
I keep them pot-bound so they don't grow too fast. I can only keep them for 15 to 18 years before I have to give them away, they get too big. I'm getting better at pruning/training so the larger one may go 20 years this time.
I should have taken a pic after I pruned them, they look very sad, lol.
Our frost free growing season runs from late May to mid October.
Yes, the flowers last for about 2 days. They are so heavy they sometimes startle the dog when they fall.
The one in your pic is a beauty.
