I bought SDC in 2011 and am not sure how many fans it has now, but it has increased to a large clump that needs dividing. I will have to report later on branching and bud count (it's too dark outside now, lol!)
The blooms are so perfect and beautiful, I almost hate to say this, but I do not like that it blooms down in the foliage. I know some folks have said that they cut the foliage down so the blooms will show, but I have not done this. For me, blooming down in the foliage is a deal breaker, so I probably won't keep this one much longer.
Edited to add: Now that it's light out, I have counted buds: 2-3 way branching and at the most 10 buds per scape.
