    I'm finding this plant to be completely amazing. After 2 years of doing pretty much nothing, it bloomed for me the end of April 2023. Today is August 1st, 2023, and the bloom is still strong! Looking nearly as beautiful as when it first bloomed for me in April. I had no clue that these flowers would have this kind of lasting power!
