pkponder gave me this potted plant last fall and I kept it in the garage all winter, dragging it out every day that was warm enough. It was attacked by spider mites and I thought I was going to lose it, and still might, but I spray it every day so maybe not. It has been so much trouble keeping it alive that I was going to just let it die a quick death instead of keeping it on life support, but now that I've seen a bloom, well, let's just say I took it off the DNR list.
