    Beware, Elena! Those loooong flower spikes are very, very easy to snap off, after spending months watching them grow! Many a sad tale has been shared on the forum over that!

    A sad day, today. I guess it has been just over a month since the first bloom opened, but I notice they are starting to fade.

    Sure seems like a short time when that happens.

    But just think of the show that you can look forward to next time! And with more growths, maybe more flowers?

    They certainly were beautiful while they lasted.
