It was in full bloom by Thanksgiving day. This year I had to do some heavy pruning in the spring and only three branches are in bloom. I had an old jade that would bloom every fall; it would infrequently bloom a second time in February.

Thanks!

On mine. But I do have 3 Christmas Cacti that bloom beautifully every year And for the first year my Peace Lily is finally blooming, this year of all the years, maybe there will be peace of some kind yet.

Is there a nectar that runs from the blooms?

I had a Mother In Law Tongue that bloomed and it had a really beautiful tasting and smelling nector.

They're usually outdoors from late May to early October. Heavy rains are the biggest threat to their health. I have two Christmas cacti which are at the end of a bloom. I'd love to see a photo of your Peace Lily.

I have a bunch of jade plants outdoors but they get little sun and not much water; they rarely bloom.

Yours is truly spectacular!
