Is one of those Southern Belle Marie? Mine hasn't bloomed, but it sure is getting large, about 6 inches in diameter now.

No it is not and mine looks like it is starting to rot :o( I hardly water it so I am thinking maybe it got tooo much cold although I did not put it out until early April.

Thanks. I was happy that I kept it in all winter and it looked fine. I did not think it was too cold but who knows!

BTW, mine only gets rain water at this point. It's on the north side of the house, just outside the eaves of the house, so it gets watered anytime time it rains. Lots of rain off the roof :)
