It never sets seed and according to Nana it didn't like being moved. When she died in 2000 we took a chance and dug it up to bring here before her house was sold. Every year except the first couple it has flowered, perhaps only 2 or 3 blooms sometimes 5 or 6 but we look forward to it every spring. This year it has at least 10 huge blooms maybe more, each as big as a side plate, if not bigger.
A bit of Nana lives on.
PS any ideas on propagation? Look around the sides, you will often see some mini plants that can cut away and dug up. I often take at least half a dozen new plants around September from mine.
