Cuthbie possibly BLOOMING outside in Florida

[TOMMYMIAMI]

Hi everyone, I found out something pretty amazing today, if it is what i THINK it is :-) I bought this cuthbie the end of September from seller in California, he stated it was grown outside expose to temps as high as 85F and as low as 35F. I was impressed it can take up to 85F, that was the reason I got it! It is outside here in Miami ever since it arrived (beginning of October). Today when watering I found THIS. Is it what I think???? I mean, we have extreme cold weather for Florida past month + so I know this helped tremendously, but still, I do not know anyone else in Florida who would bloom cuthbertsonii outside!!! Next one - Dracula outside in Florida

Tommy, you are my hero! No reason to not try one myself! Would you be able to pm the seller's info? I like that he acclimates them to the higher temperatures.

Yeah I wish he has more of the same tempered cuthbies, after this success I would definitely go for more!

I would love to try growing them again. I had one years ago but I lost it. Now they just aren't available where we are. The hybrid called Illusion is supposed to be easier to grow. I almost had one but it didn't like being mailed.
