It also bloomed in 2009 and 2010, but i can't find the photos. I think they may be on my other computer. It didn't bloom in 2008.

Okay... Must be a big clump then to have stonei blooming almost every year...

Excellent stonei... though when looking at your photos I wonder if you do not have a nutrition problem, short flower spikes, lighter flower color, apparently yellowish leaves... What fertilizer do you use ?

Msu for well water. However I think all those symptom are because I grew it in considerably more light in the last year than I normally do
