I have had this clone for around 15 years. I first got it as a small division. It flowered in 2006 on a very small single growth which you can see below. I think the flowering took so much out of it that it struggled to recover. It grew at a snails pace. Eleven years later it has put up another spike. Again the growth is tiny (similar to below) and it only has a small new lead. So today I made the heartbreaking decision to save it from the same fate as before and nipped the buds off. It looked like it was going to have three flowers as well. It is such a beautiful clone that it is not worth risking. Hopefully in three years or so it will be strong enough to sustain a flowering.
