I purchased a cutting of this plant from David Liddle in July '09. I
rooted it in long fibered sphagnum moss and since I had no idea how it
would grow, I potted it into a coffee cup.
In November it bloomes...not just once but 3 times. The first blooms
never had a chance to fall off before the buds from the second were
coming up. About 9 days after the second round of blooms fell off,
the third set of blooms showed up.
It then took a break in blooming til January. Again, this little
plant bloomed three times in a row.
Until the beginning of May, it had just sat. Then buds showed up
again. http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2321/13082190/23280905/388401218.jpg
<---is a link to a pic in my picturetrail account showing the second
set of blooms not even open before a third set of buds started
forming.
This plant also has another bloom spur with 4 buds that should open in
a few days with other newly started buds coming up behind them.
Plants never cease to amaze me. I think I have more pictures of my
plants than I do my kids...KIDDING!

For some reason, I'm unable to see the picture. I really would like
to see it. I bought a cutting of this in the middle of May. It
rooted well, and easily, but I have no idea what the blooms look
like! :)
Glad yours is doing so well!!! :)

Sorry Carolyn. I probably moved pictures around so the link doesn't work anymore. There are a couple pictures in my picturetrail album. The plant is now on its 4th blooming. It also produced another bloom spur that has little buds just starting to form. The blooms are a creamy yellow with a tiny dot of a reddish color in the center.
