Dry winter?

Nick

Mine is in bud right now - probably won't have flowers open for a week or 2. I've posted pics of it in the past. 2 weeks duration for the flowers seems about right to me - they have never been particularly long-lived in my experience, but there are a lot of flowers, and they bloom for several years from each cane, so it is certainly a worthwhile plant to grow.

Thanks for sharing your blooming period, Tucker. I have read in several places that the flowers are long lived but 2 weeks feels closer to the short lived time frame.

Nick - I gave it a dryer rest when it was outside in the 40-50s. So probably about 6 weeks of light watering ever 7-10 days.

So pretty. I might have to give this a try.

It is blooming again! With another spike close behind.
