Default Lc Love Knot ‘Carmela’s Blue’

I have been waiting for almost five years for this moment. And this week it happened.... I got two flowers on this plant... A FIRST!!!!! I know many don't much care for the "blue" Catts but I do and I am thrilled that the wait is finally over!

Five years is a very long time indeed. I have the same clone and find it to be a very shy bloomer. In the past four years, it has only bloomed twice. I assume you find the same true?

Any other opinions out there?

Christian,

I love how this one has filled in the basket. It's lovely even without the blooms. Great flowers too. Worth the wait for sure.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a lot of plant you have there, Howard!

Isn't that catt a bit too much of a small/compact grower for you? (I know the size of catts you generally have. LOL)

well, yeah, but I wanted the blue flower and this is what they sent me.... I'd probably have done better over the years had I started out with the smaller growing Catts... then I'd have more room for something...
