Miracle Fruit Annual Update

I recently replanted my miracle fruit because I felt that it might have reached it's capacity within the original pot.  I must have been on to something because after the re-pot it took off!  For comparison first I'm posting my old photo from June 09 that shows March 09 when I got it and 3 months later.

The shadows might make it hard to make out details but the base is no longer a silly twig, it's several inches taller (currently 12'') and from a different angle it's spread is actually around 22'' so it's spreading more like a tree.  Also, there's new growth everywhere, from the inch segment on the top that sprung up over the weekend to new leaves at pretty much every intersection (new leaves are red so they stand out).  I'm still crossing my fingers for a little white flower to pop out somewhere, though I know that's very optimistic.
