It's had a few flowers through the year, the first couple of spikes have dried up but another has just opened it's first flower.
 
I had been asked on another thread to show how I grow this, so I will post the photo here as well. Without the vase the plant wrinkles us and aborts flowers, but with it it grows well and seems quite happy.

It looks fantastic! I am envious!
Mine was doing great but then one of the growths just dropped all its leaves. I still have another much smaller growth. I can only think that it either got cold or too dry one too many times.
I love the way you are growing yours in a "vase'. I have mine in a tabletop greenhouse where I can maintain the high humidity. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it makes it. Otherwise, I'll just have to enjoy yours |

Rosie, I just got my third plant. Inspired by your post i believe. The first two died. Lack of moisture I suspect. The vase looks like a good plan. Does the bottom have pebbles with water?
