Beautiful! I love this species. Mine's in spike now and I'm really looking forward to it blooming. Although, it usually blooms in the fall; last fall the newest growth which should've bloomed, suddenly rotted and was lost. So, it started up a new growth from an old, dormant eye further back on the plant and now that it's mature, it's making a spike, regardless of it not being the right season. You're right Mike, this one definitely likes it hot, dry and bright; but, with frequent (daily), waterings. It just needs to completely dry off within an hour or two and then bake in the hot sun all day.
