Brought this home a few weeks ago. It had three flowers on this stalk and lots of small buds. The 2nd stalk had four flowers. As you can see, I haven't killed it yet. Up to 18 flowers total between the two stalks. Experimenting with the Tamron 70-300 with a 1.4x teleconverter. Not as sharp as the Nikkor-Micro 105, but it has its advantages.
