@DavidLMO My Giant BOP is hardy until it freezes so I have it in a large pot so I can tote it into the greenhouse. It really enjoyed the mild winter. Had I known it would never freeze, I would have left it outside. It appears to have a flower coming. But it is not opening or changing. But it has sprouted a new baby. I have a healthy 10 ft BOP and 2 new babies. If I had a sunny place I would plant it in the ground this year as it is getting BIG. Those that are planted in the ground grow fast and tall and I hear can be messy. They do die back in a freeze but come back each year. I wish I had enough sun in the house to bring it in. I hear they make awesome house plants by a sunny window.
