I'm very excited as I planted one last spring and it just sat there. This year it already has some really good looking 'stalks' growing from it, so I am hoping for some lovely tall 'flowers' this summer!

Well, mine was about this size last year. Now it is about twice this size and much less 'tidy' and 'fresh' looking, but it is definitely going to flower :)) So perhaps you may need to wait another year. Be patient, it will be worth it!

i don't mind the wait, like you say it's worth it :-)
