Hi Yale,

I love the flowers of shepherdii. Mine bloomed early on, but it's rarely bloomed since. I've got it overpotted, and I'm hoping it's just taking its time, producing roots and will again someday bloom for me. It had a couple of peduncles start to bud this year, but they aborted before the matured.

The 'Minibelle' I got from you a few years ago is budding up and has one open flower spur right now. I really like the long, narrow leaved species like these two.
