I had a surprise bloom of my Music Note Clerodendrum this winter. Surprises like this are really fun. Congratulations!

for the first time, especially when you have given up on it ever blooming. I have some Resurrection Lilies that come up early and the leaves die, as usual, but they never come back up with a bloom....well, almost never. I have seen them bloom only twice in several years. I also wonder what the conditions are that make everything come together.
