I got my plant from McClure in '04; it bloomed in Oct '06 and '07 (just when I wanted it) but not last year. I had left it out that summer, exposed to natural rainfall. This summer I kept it totally try (except for a spritz 2 days ago); it still has some solid greenery. I'll water it for real next month and see if that sets it on the right track.
