I got this plant February 2013 with no flowers. It is a NoID from Lowes. It grew a nice spike this year, and this is the first flower to open. I am really happy with it . The purple is a bit off, in person it is a very dark plum color. And the back of the flower is an intersting green color too. It still has 7 buds as of right now, and one is about ready to open.
