Thanks everyone. Sandra: Yes it did flower last year and it does every year but didnt have so many buds as this year, I counted 20 yesterday. I remember my Dad buying this over 20 years ago and paid quite a bit for it and was in trouble with my Mum, lol. I have moved it a couple of times too.

Sorry Sandra: Just re-read your message. As we've had it for so long, dont know if it flowered on its first year. I would imagine it would have been in flower when my Dad bought it though, he would have been knocked out by it. :-) Does yours get full sun, they like that.

yes it does get full sun dawn, lots and lots of foilage, no sign of stems or buds yet :o(

Might be worth putting the question to the members San. I've never had a problem and mine is in pretty rubbish clay and hasnt been fed - wonder if your soil is too fertile.
