Default Anticipating Blooms

This Onc. was purchased healthy and in full bloom from an Asian vender at a local flea market about 15 months ago. The vendor had limited knowledge of English, so I was unable to obtain a name. At any rate, the plant has grown well and was successfully transitioned to S/H a few months ago. She had 4 spikes, but 2 were broken. One spike mishap happened while trying to catch a Palmetto Bug (Roach) who had drilled a hole in her spike producing pseudo, and the other was accidentally broken while repositioning the plant to a better location. To my relief, the remaining spikes have now matured and should begin blooming any day now.

Yeah, that's a nice looking plant. Bummer to hear about the other spikes, but that's still going to be a lot of flowers! Nice growing!

I was crushed when those 2 spikes got broken. I was soooo looking forward to a 4 spike display of blooms.
