Well, Bruce..I guess next year it's water, water, water.  I certainly won't
give up on the plant, since it's got a gorgeous form, color, and is in a
good spot, visually. But if I have no chance of getting the flowers I'll
just cut the stalk before it drains energy from the plant. First will try
your water thing for a couple of years, though.
