George, I have this one too though I think it might be a different cultivar. Anyway, I think you will be very surprised at how long the blooms last. They stay nice and don't get tatty looking over time, and when they are done they go quickly.

For the rest of you droolers H&R in Honolulu carries it.

I have this one, too. However mine doesn't have as many spots. For some reason when it bloomed in June it only had one flower (usually has about 6). Yours is very nice (don't tell mine but I like yours better)!

Looks like it loves you, too, George. Real nice and healthy looking plant. I love the vibrant color of the flower.

Be prepared to enjoy the flowers of your plant for a long time to come. They bloom year around and when they mature you can expect up to seven or eight flowers on a branched spike.
