Really pretty.

I've not had good luck with mine of these so far, think I need to show it your flower pics so it knows what's expected of it

Can you tell us how you are growing this one? What is your watering/feeding regime and how much sun? Beautiful blooms! Bravo!

thank you

I grow it outside all year.
2 hours of full sun in the spring and autumn.
Shading in summer.
3 4 hours of full sun in the winter
Summer: maximum temperatures 32° - 35° C
winter: minimum temperature 6° 7° C, but during the day the temperature is always between 10 ° C and 15 ° C.

Fertilization 0.5 g/l every watering (spring - summer) with fertilizer similar to your MSU.

In autumn suspend fertilizing and watering decreases.
In the winter I water only when I see that the leaves lose turgidity (about once a month).

As soon as I see the flower buds begin again to water slowly, before spraying the substrate then becomes more regular.
Resume fertilizing only when the first sprout vegetation.

Great info thanks Roby.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize that this was a "winter rest" type dend. Thanks so much for that info.

must not make a "winter rest" pronounced.
Leave to dry the substrate, and then wait again before watering.
the time of watering in winter is highly dependent on environmental conditions.
Naples is a city very humid in winter, and I can spend a long time between watering.
but if you can not give a lot of moisture must be aware that dry well.
if not watered properly during the winter instead of flowers makes adventitious vegetation.
I hope I have clarified
