It is something for sure. I am planning to give them up to my neighbors and friends, who showed interest in adopting. Now just need to get them to bloom.
I probably looked dumb as I was taking plants out of the dumpster near the store. But these plants looked like they have got several years of really good care invested in them.
This is ‘before’:

Those look pretty good. They should flower quickly. Often ones sold out of season have been induced to flower by manipulating growing temperatures. They may or may not take a year off from blooming while getting back onto a natural seasonal schedule.

Thank you. I will keep it in mind. No rush on my side.
