    I have had a succession of up to four flowering stems following the initial flower spike, from each stem.
    If that kind of makes sense.

      I bought it last year.
      Its the first to flower for me yet again this year.
      Presumably because its not growing long stems, it flowers much earlier than some.

      Should add that the yellow flowered plant you kindly sent me earlier in the year didn't sprout I'm afraid.:sad:

                        I'm convinced my tropicana is virused. No flowers but then I've been slack feeding it because wedding flowers took priority.

                        No flowers on my Tropicana either @CharlieBot - have you a photo of the leaves so we could see if it is the virus.
