Mambo blooms!

I got 6 Mambos from Parks clearance. Gave 2 away as Christmas gifts. None of mine have formed roots yet, even on my heat mat. But slowly they have opened their first buds today on stubby little short stems. One of them is growing on a nice 12" stem but it is not opening yet.

The one opened fully in the photo fell out of the pot and got his face a bit dirty landing in someone elses pot, but he is sort of like the grungy little kid with the beautiful cheerful smile!

I just read on the internet that Mambo is part of a group that were bred to be pot flowers sold in January with shorter stockier stems. I would say they succeeded!. It seems to me like the face is very similar to Minerva.
