Only took 15 years to bloom I originally bought from OZ in 2000, not able to bloom (barely keep alive) and gave it away to a friend, Jay. I gave it to him because he managed to bloom a third generation besseae hybrid. He kept saying, We can't bloom besseae or any of its primary hybrids...too hot here. At some point I got it back because he had no luck either. About that time, I discovered S/H from here, ST. It took off as you can see from the whole plant shot.

15 years! Man, you're as stubborn as this plant Congrats on showing it who's the boss !! lol

I love the deep color, but I might not even live 15 years.
This one's definitely not for me!

 

[SlipperKing]

Anglia, you would probably have better luck blooming a besseae primary in your area then we South Texans.

Well done Rick and the color is very pretty!

 

[Ozpaph]
