Linda, I'm terribly surprised that mine DID bloom. I have this pot of rexes on my stair landing. My stairs are in two sections, with the landing midway, and a shelf about 6 inches below the 2nd floor built into the landing wall. The shelf sits approx. 8ish? (I'm awful w/dimensions) feet under a skylight that is direct upward. There's always bright light, but never direct. This is in the center of my house, at the very peak of the soaring ceiling.

Anyway, it's such an odd spot. I have a Norfolk Pine there, along w/a basket full of pothos, walking iris, arrowhead vine & croton....and the begonia pot. I also stick an AV there when in full bloom, but the light's NOT enough to make an AV go INto bloom.

Go fig.....I squealed when I found the bud.

Hey MKJ, I know you really were excited to see the flowers. Even very small blooms can do that to me, too.

In my experience the bloom on 'Escargot' is very insignificant, hidden away under the leaves and on the small side. I can't remember the color, but I do remember that the stalks only produced two flowers each. In my humble opinion, 'Escargot' is a lot more valuable as a foliage plant than it ever will be as a bloomer, the leaves are so gorgeous, although to me the entire plant, when well grown, has a "formal" look that doesn't really suit my wild-a$$ garden.
