Mine is 38 years old it was an engagement present and blooms 3 times every year, the same as Aurora's. I thought I killed it in 1978 and I tossed the pot and plant under the back deck. Two years later, we replaced the deck and the plant was blooming and beautiful! I have transplanted it several times and it has moved to 3 different houses and 2 states. Still beautiful! It does best when I ignore it
