Laurie, Unless you work at night your coworkers won't see a flower. It opens about 9pm and closes before sunrise. Also in order to get it to bloom again, it needs a very cool dry rest in the winter. I don't think I would put it in the basement unless there is light for it. Mine stays in a cold southfacing window, gets down to the upper 30s in temp sometimes. I water maybe once every 6 weeks or so over the winter.

Kelby, I got your note but your email settings on Gardenweb prevent me from being able to respond directly back to you. Thanks so much for your kind words! Please start a discussion in the house plant forum with your questions so your efforts will result in the benefit of knowledge from all of the people who might see it. I'm quite flattered to be asked to help, and would be happy to do so, but know many others have tons of great info to share with you also.

The pot looks way to big for the plant. I would repot it now into a smaller pot. That big of a pot will only lead to overwatering problems.

We need a lot more information. Starting with a geographical location. Thereafter we need accurate sizes. 'Tall' doesn't really help. Are these cones in clusters or single? Held standing up or hanging down? What do the leaves look like? Best of all would be a photograph.
