SailorTom - Well good for you, it looks like it is going to bloom for you even though it is past it's normal bloom time. You are going to love it. Keep us updated with photos.
i sure hope it flowers....its kinda cool right know in the pacific NW...hard to get the 80 degree day temps.....looks around is the spelling police around.
You grew it to ten times its original size...and it seems you are going to be rewarded with a bloom soon...
Dont fret with spellings...I am guilty of those at times...Latin names are hard to write...but I always just think Id like the spelling of my name gotten right in life , then might as well get their names righ as well...
