So, while I was away on vacation, Nick's mom started the watering process for me so that it would bloom in late February. The problem is that she seems to do a much better job at caring for plants than me. When I picked it up from her a week and a half ago, the shoot was fully grown (and it was a bit challenging to transport back to Cambridge in the car, since apparently it is also a bit fragile).
Since then, it bloomed incredibly quickly. One of the two shoots it developed has fully bloomed and is actually going downhill a bit now, and the other shoot is very close to being fully bloomed as well. (After the flowers die and fall off, you can save the plant and try to keep it alive for future years, which is tricky, or else just let the whole thing die.) Here are some pictures of it from various points last week.

Quick get it back to Nick's Mom so it will have some chance - with you it's a goner. I think there are already giant bugs on it in the last picture.
