Cool is right! I never knew that they bloom!. I just bought one. I've been hoping to find someone who had one and would share a cutting, but I've been hoping that for a long, long time now so I broke down and bought one from Lowes. Any advice on how to grow it as gorgeous as yours??

I agree, I've never seen a bloom on this plant.
