Of cause, Ramón. Probably I explained not so well. What I meant is that PBs produced this year are normally flowering, not older PBs. But at what stage of their development they are flowering it, of cause, depends on species. Some species can flower on very young PBs, other on almost formed PBs, thirds on fully developed PBs etc. All my pileatums are flowering on almost developed PBs, but not dormant. All of them still in leaves and still growing, but at this time of the season they are growing in breadth, because top leaf is already formed for a while ago. But foliage is not dropped yet.

Great, Ramón. It is exactly this one from Röllke.
