NOID Cym. in bloom
 

This is a reliable bloomer around this time every year. I grow it outdoors from spring thru fall until near freezing. Then it spends the winter in the greenhouse where it will be in bloom for quite a while.

Beautiful! I love the colors!

Love that yellow!

2 spikes,very nice

Lovely.

Thanks for looking. This is such a care free plant and blooms every year!

My cymbs are in spike too, which is odd. I've read an article online stating that in Europe the temps are too high for this season. In GB, for ex, the avg max temp is 5 to 6 ºC (aprox 2,7 F)above the normal temps.
Here is hapening the same, we have been in the 20's (69 F) which is unusual for this time of the year.
I hope cold doesn't sneak in and kill my spikes (especially because one of the plants is spiking for the first time since I got it 9 years ago).

Good luck with your spikes. I hope to see pics when they bloom. If the forecast is for too cold, can you bring them in or cover them in some way?

Thank you, I will.

Well, they have been always outside. Our min temps in winter are around 1 or 2ºC (approx. 33 to 35ºC) but in many days in the early morning are bellow freezing. They seem to like it that way but I have them in a sheltered place from frost and east wind (which, here, means too cold and dry).

Those low temps are likely fine for the plant itself but the spikes and buds will be more tender.
