Dancing Ladies

According to a garden buddy, these are gregarious plants.  They thrived well in clusters. Split them up and they'll pine away with grief. It was an opinion I pooh-poohed at the time.
Dancing Ladies
Until it happened in my garden.

We had a dead tree trunk planted into a huge pot a couple of years ago.  The Dancing Ladies were strapped onto the trunk where they multiplied and bloomed prolifically.  In time, the trunk crumbled. It had to be removed. The colossal cluster was divided into smaller portions. Most did not survive. Those which did would not bloom. That was about ten years ago.  Recently, the blooms reappeared. It appears that our trespasses have been forgiven.
