Judy, Here's the pic I promised. I missed a few blooms. You've got to be johnny-on-the-spot with a camera, because they don't last long! There were actually 3 blooms open along with this one. (the leaves in the foreground belong to another plant) My plant is in a pot, and it's getting hard to handle. I have to lean it up against something because it won't stand upright. The trunk forked at about 12 inches high, and it keeps growing, but horizontally! It can't support itself. I guess I'm forced to cut it back. Do you know how I can help encourage a more sturdy main stem?
