thanks all!
I would say to anyone that likes this one - get it if you can - I have read, and it's been my experience that this is a reliable bloomer and it's rather compact grower. I have about 8 or 9 pbulbs in a 3 inch pot and it isn't massively tall either - tho one spike I have this year is almost 2' but it is arcing so not actually taking 2' of vertical space.
I have wondered about the north window thing - had only recently heard that it isn't enough light to bloom plants ?
My african violets bloom well there, and had a pink polka dot plant that bloomed like crazy there - as well as catnip blooming a lot in that window ?
Stuff I wouldn't even think of bloomin lol
Does it depend on latitude maybe?
or maybe this is a topic for another thread lol
thanks for the kind words everyone
I hope the spikes will 'over-lap' in blooming and if so will post pictures. Last year the blooms lasted several weeks
