That's what I like to hear this can go as wild as it likes ;-)
No sign of buds but the leaves are pretty large so I'm hopeful :-), remember yours flowered for ages last year didn't they?

Totally love this one Amy, even if it is variegated.

Simbad - check for fat fans at the base - they'll be the ones bearing flowers. The fans take a year (or two sometimes) to bloom.
