This is such a great species. There is one of these in my greenhouse a little over three feet tall. It is a beautiful plant growing straight up a treefern totem and has never flowered. Ever. It sits at the south end of the greenhouse in the brightest spot I can provide, but still just can't seem to get the amount of light it wants for flowering. The last visitor to my greenhouse laughed because he recognized the plant from 10 years ago.

This time last year I visited a hobbyist in Tucson, AZ who had one of these in a completely unshaded greenhouse with very strong air flow. That plant was pretty close to the same color green as the one I have here in Seattle, but it must have had 200 flowers open.
