Well done MtEquine!
What are your growing conditions for Max Tenuifolia?
I have one growing in my window as well, curious to see how you got yours to bloom in the Spring.

It's growing in a south window, potted in a slat basket with moss. I try not to let it dry out too much, but here in Colorado humidity is definitely an issue. I'd say I water it three times a week and I use MSU type fertilizer once a week at 1/4 strength.

Last year when it bloomed it was in a "sun room" but a pretty decent distance from a west window-and it sent that one but out in late June.

Hope this helps
