It sure looks happy in this photo.
How about a 'now' photo so we can see the difference.

Quick note from my experience with niveum, which grows very well for me, is that the plant DOESN'T like to be over potted. Your plant seems to be in a too big a pot. I learnt that very quickly. I keep mine in pots that appear too small but the plant likes it.
Very nice flower.

yes, i did put it in a rather large pot at that time... but there were 2 of them and i was growing them with some succulents in the same pot (now thinking of it, whatever made me do that??!!) craig, i'm too embarrased to post a 'now' pic... i guess i'll let it recuperate first... the problem is that the leaf bases turn brown and affects the whole growth. this happens even though i pot them 'higher' up, and not letting the growth touch the medium... happened to the other niveum too... 
must be the heavy rain...

The flower sure is pretty. I think niveums don't like to be kept wet -- that's what may be happening in that size pot.
