I see references to Neo flowers lasting 2 mo's but my

is so depressing to lose the bloom.

Presumably you mean --Neofinetia falcata--. I have plant that blooms
every year. The flowers last up to a month at the most, depending on
the temperature. The cooler the temps, the longer the blooms last.

I also have a Darwinara . Its flowers last about the same length of
time.
