This is its second year and I feel quite blessed that it is blooming right on cue. I say this because conditions have to be just perfect for it to flower. It requires cool short nights and a dry period between October and November. Then it will respond to watering and warmer temperatures by producing buds in the early spring. This plants has had occasion to drop a good many of its leaves which it will do to tell you that it is not happy.
I tucked a few of my painted Easter eggs around the base to dress it up for this happy day.
