    Very nice Satish ! Mine bloomed, but the inflorescence was pointed in the wrong direction inside thick growth, by the time I realized that there were flowers, it was too late.

    stunning display!
    i was also put off with the "pineapple", it usually refers to the robiquetia genus.

    And what is wrong with members of the genus Robiquetia?

    They have their place in the big scheme of things.
