Yes, it has been great. Its the first flower I have gotten. I have been growing these for four years now. I hope I can identify it. I think they are orinoco, but I hope they are ice cream.

Lots of purple, goes over the fold of the petal, looks like Orinoco rather than Ice Cream.
Ice Cream for comparison:

More pics for comparison
I don't think your plant has enough of a pink tinge to the pseudostem and petioles to be 'Ice Cream'. The 'Orinoco' has more of a yellow tinge.

Your young plant:


Regular 'Orinoco' on left 'Ice Cream' on right:


'Ice Cream' on left 'Dwarf Orinoco' on right:

I completely agree. I was afraid it was orinoco this whole time because it grew so well here. It even had a green leaf on it when we brought it out from under the house after the winter.

I would like to try ice cream here, people say they are more cold tolerant than other plants.
