Den. kingianum in bloom

[silken]

This the first time for me to have this in bloom. I got it in Oct of 2011 with keikis started on every mature growth so it didn't bloom last winter for me. This year it has 7 spikes and no keikis so I think its happy! I grew this fairly cool and dry right by the patio doors in the greenhouse all winter. Once I could tell it was buds and not keikis, I started giving it more water. I did water it a bit several times thru the winter prior to buds appearing but not much.

It will only get better from here

Lovely!

It definitely will only get better. Previously bloomed canes can re-bloom. Keikis left on the parent can bloom on the next bloom period after they first appeared.

Thanks everyone! Good to know it can re bloom on canes. It should make for a good show next year
