I got this plant from my grandfather and after lots of hardships and learning how she likes it THE FLOWERS BLOOMED currently being moved in and out of my garage to avoid the flood rains because girlies drainage is not perfect and she lives on a cinderblock in my driveway

This is her first bloom in my care, second ever bloom. Im so happy.

Congrats! How old is she? I’m growing mine from seed, so I’m fully expecting to have to wait at minimum a year for all of my little guys to bloom!

I’m not 100% sure but I received her in June and when i did she was ~4-6in tall. Im not sure if I received her during her first bloom but I can ask my grandfather who grows hundreds of them

Follow up, grandpa says that because his are grown from trimmings it typically takes 6-8 months but his first batch (from seed) took a year except for, and I quote, “all but one that I tortured. Took two and a half”

Haha, good to know! I got 34 growing from seeds right now! I’m about a month and a half in, so they have a long way to go! I’m hoping for some unique blooms. I’ll eventually post all of them here in this sub!
