Mine just finished blooming for the second time this year. It summered outdoors and I was surprised to see a flower spike when I brought it in for the winter. It did experience some very cool weather before it was brought inside.

Cool and it may bloom again in spring for you. My daughter in Mpls has one and hers blooms Jan ~ Mar. She is the reason I bought mine and am patiently awaiting blooms. Whistling

That is also the time I get my blooms here, around Jan to Mar, provided they received a good cool down in Fall.

Lucky you Gary to get twice a year blooming! That is so good!

Clivias are blooming out in the yard. For once, the snails are not munching on them.

Per notes from some botanical source, mine went in the unheated garage October 1 to keep it dry, and start cooling. I remembered to add fertilizer this summer so I have high hopes for the winter bloom - Crossing Fingers! last year was small- and maybe another side shoot would be nice too Crossing Fingers!
Plant it and they will come.
