Very pretty. I have a different cultivar, Maui Sunset, that I bought a couple summers ago and it has been one of my most reliable bloomers. Mine only has one spike so far this year, but it had 2 last season and had 2 when I bought it in blooms (later adding a third spike, then reblooming and branching on the original spikes). The most striking thing about mine is that it hasn't yet lost any of the leaves I bought it with after close to 2-1/2 years; the bottom-most 2 leaves on each side only recently started to fade and shrivel a bit and it has accumulated a total of 20 dark green leaves. A very hardy, vigorous plant for me.
