I planted this in fall of 2014, so there has only been bloom in 2015. It did pretty well, blooming for 3 weeks. It probably would have done better but it was located where the scapes got some hail damage and had buds knocked off. I think the container is located in too much shade and I'll probably set it out in a mostly sunny situation in a few weeks. I did like the bloom and it more or less reached the registered height. The early blooms were marred - by thrips, I guess - but the later ones were not. I think it's too early to really evaluate, but I looked today and there are nine fans showing green points. That means it more than doubled the number of fans. A bit more sun and lot less hail will probably benefit the plant and resulting performance.

Edited to add a couple of photos. I'd already put one in the database. It really did have a strong tendency to point that finger early in the a.m. :).
