Gee, I don't know why there's so much space at the end of my last post ... must have done something when I was uploading the pictures. Lots of blank space there.
Elaine, Thank you for the compliments on my pictures! I'm not sure how long it takes for the Ric Rac to start blooming. I got mine as a small plant at an Albertson's grocery store many years ago, it wasn't labeled and I had no idea what it was. One year when I was re-arranging and moving plants around, I moved it into the pool enclosure where it hung for a number of years. One day I happened to notice a raggedy looking growth hanging from a stem ... didn't have a clue what it was, I thought maybe something was wrong with the plant so I posted a photo to DG and someone informed me that it was a spent bloom! That's where I learned the identity and that it was a night bloomer! My Ric Rac has always bloomed in mid to late April or mid to late May with a sporadic bloom or two in late March one year. I'm really bad about remembering to fertilize plants but I used to use orchid food on it ... don't know if it helped but it didn't seem to hurt.
