I believe these plants need to be a bit "older" and root bound in their pots before they'll bloom. So maybe your old plant will surprise you one of these days and bloom! The one I had several years ago that bloomed the most spectacularly was hung on the trim of a west window, but not directly in front of the window.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-51892102445444568942017-11-28T00:17:08.694-06:002017-11-28T00:17:08.694-06:00I'm sorry to comment so late after this post, ...I'm sorry to comment so late after this post, but was wondering about a plant in one of your pictures, the "joya" I think it's called. I have one too that is quite old, but has never bloomed. Has yours bloomed?

(And also function as a coffee table!) I commissioned her to make it for me and then she surprised me by giving it to me for my birthday! How's that for a good friend?!<br /><br />Honestly, I have too many cook books, some of which I started collecting when first married, over fifty years ago. Time to go through them once again and weed some out. (So I have room for new ones!) ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-25224080766442491292017-11-16T07:54:22.094-06:002017-11-16T07:54:22.094-06:00Jenn - If you check out my "coffee table"...Jenn - If you check out my "coffee table" in the photos above, you'll see where I store my full-sized quilts. A dear friend (lady carpenter) made it for me for my birthday several years ago. Isn't it gorgeous?
