This one was in bud when I got it this spring and it is still blooming on the same spike. It is it's 9th bloom and now it is blooming on it's second growth. I will have to wait and see how many it will have. At least 3 for now and it has perhaps one coming out of the side of it. Normal or not? The picture doesn't show it very good. It also has another growth and time will also tell on that one if it will bloom.
