Mine's doing great, though it's wanting to grow into a ball and I found several new leaves and even flowers down in the pot! Predawn fragrance is still as amazing as ever.

That is just gorgeous! 
I think my Leptotes bicolor and Leptotes pohlitinocoi are still too small to bloom but hopefully next year we will have a first bloom on them. They are cute plants out of bloom, though, so I am really happy with them.

Absolutely gorgeous! Growing into a ball is great, it's what they want to do. Maybe repot to a basket?
Still waiting for mine... buds getting fatter though. Couple of weeks... |

I completely understand why these are usually grown mounted. I've been mulling the repot strategy for months now. While a basket would work, I get the same issue as with mounts, namely that they dry out too fast. I don't want to stray to far from the current situation, if it aint broke don't fix it!
I'm currently leaning towards moving it to a larger, clay pot with inorganic medium so that it can encompass the pot in it's ball of growth. The issue is what to do once it takes over the entire pot! Hang it?

Yours is always a couple weeks behind mine, I assume because mine is indoors? Looking forward to seeing it!

I am sure that the outdoor chill slows mine down. But they do get there eventually after teasing me for awhile... buds on L. bicolor, unicolor, and pohlitinacoi, it'll be a good season whenever it happens.

How are yours doing? Any signs of flowers yet?
I love this little species so much that I just order L. bicolor alba. The pure white blooms look fantastic.
