Here is another old friend. I started this plant from seed a LONG time ago…maybe 20 years. It started out slowly and I wasn’t sure it would be warm enough in the greenhouse over winter, just ticking over above freezing. But it was happy enough to grow and grow and finally to bloom a few years ago.

Were my plant parenting skills scrutinized more, this plant would surely have been removed from my care in the last couple of years. I tried to pot it on into a larger pot, but the way its roots and stems are angled makes it difficult to manage. My 2020 goals for the plant will be to situate it more appropriately and to feed and water it well to try to get it back to health and to bloom.
