Lc. Robert Strait 'Blue Hawaii'

no secrets to blooming, unusually long patience. We have stoped growing them commercially and even refuse to sell the few we have left as they will only disappoint.

Thats too bad, they are so beautiful. Maybe I'll try a hybrid then. I like a challenge, but maybe not so much of one! lol!

If it's so hard to bloom, why are there many people on OB who have one, have posted photos, and have said nothing about it being difficult to bloom? I researched this plant a few months back since it's one my wishlist, and difficulty blooming is not something that comes up. Or 'Blue Hawaii' may be one which does not have this problem.

Same with me, i never heard anything about this one beeing a difficult plant. As I said I have got one, it has not bloom yet but seems to grow fine. This only fear i had is that it will not be as blue as i expect...I hope to see it's bloom in late summer or autumn....
