Here is Pt. megliolii MK1103/CJH376 flowering today - a much more gangly grower compared to Ralph's plant, it would seem.

A bud or flower on nearly every stem Christian is good going. (tu)

Very true, they are a bit greener... the plant got a good prune this winter so almost all the stems are new. In time they will turn a more brownish colour a little bit similar to that of your plant. This never looks particularly neat, but it flowers reliably.
