Is it dead?

This one gradually lost all it’s flowers. It does have a couple of interesting sideshoots and the foliage still looks healthy. Is it dead or should I just wait for it to flower again?

Not dead. Coupla things you can do. Cut the latest flower stalk all the way back. It will bloom again at approximately the same time next year (yes you have to wait until next year). Or, you can cut it at the nearest “interesting sideshoot” and it should bloom again in a few weeks. If you keep cutting to the shoots, you should be able to keep it blooming fairly continuously; however, if you cut it all the way back and wait the year, you’ll get a more spectacular bloom.
