The first spike is in bloom. There are 3 more spikes with buds of varying size. So I should be able to enjoy this for an extended period of time. I got this in spring of 2015 and it has grown well and gave me 4 spikes last year at the same time also. It seems to be happy getting similar care to the rest of my Catts although it is potted in large perlite. That's because it was in something similar when I got it. I was afraid to change how it was growing.
