I had made my mind up that this wasnt coming back inside next winter. Too large and not really very nice plant. I think the threat worked look at my BOP.
Its 5/6 yrs old.
First BOP bloom!!
Sometimes ya gotta tell em who's boss ☺
LOL what a beauty :*)
That is an entirely beautiful bloom! Have you kissed and made up? LOL
Oh, I will find room somehow. I have another plant the same size and
age, nothing showing on it yet.
I wish I could take a better pic. it is a beauty.
Very kewl!! Beautiful!!

Congrats. Must be something in the air this year - it was my first year for blooms too. Keep your eyes on the plant, it may send up new buds. Mine has surprised me with 4 new ones coming up now.
oriole, after reading all the comments on other gardeners experiences with BOP, I find that mine is the opposite this year. It started blooming early in the spring through the summer then, nothing in the fall. They are full of surprises.
I sure had fun with mine. It was pushing into my inside layer of plastic in my small greenhouse,didnt know what I was goingto do. Afraid the floor would be too cold. I thought it was just another leaf.
The day I decieded to move it, I saw that it was a going to be a bloom.Made all those heat$ worth while. Guess that means heat next yr.

Noticed the burgundy oxalis on the shelf. Does yours keep its foliage all winter, or does it die back and go dormant?
I thought they were supposed to "rest", but if I can keep watering mine and have it look as nice as yours, I will.
I keep mine going all yr. It has die back around the rim of the pot that I keep clipped.
I guess there is still hope for mine! It's similar in size. I have no clue how old it is. I sure hope it blooms soon!
That is beautiful!!!!! Congratulations! Say a prayer for mine!
I did seperate mine last spring. I have 2 pots of it. I dont fuss much with it.
Oriole ~ did it bloom after you divided it? One or both plants bloom?
Pods, both pots bloom.I looked back at my pic. Usually I have them together, but I cant see the 2nd pot. Its smaller but blooms.
All right! I wonder if dividing them may have triggered the bloom response...
I dont think so, they were blooming when I divided them. I thought maybe someone would come around and want a pot , that was the purpose of dividing.
Maybe Mon. I will take a pic of the pr. and post for you to see.
