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.

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.
