Finally Blooming

Hi everyone, I usually post in the african violet area but actually gave my hippie some attention this yr. I have had it for over 12yrs. and it only bloomed the 1st & 2nd yrs. All flowers were red. After that I just kept it around because it appeared healthy & had lots of straps but NO FLOWERS! My husband found some details on hippies & I followed it as it said & was rewarded in August 2014 with 1st blossoms, all red, then put it away for rest period, took it out on Thanksgiving Day 2014 & it flowered on New Years Day. I must have done something right, lol Now they are blooming again for the 2nd time in many, many yrs. love it! 2 of the bulbs have red and one turned out bright orange as you can see...what's up with that? It doesn't matter because they are all just beautiful :)
