Love it! How do you get yours to bloom? I have had a grande and a Rawdon Jester for several years and have yet to see them bloom. They grow but never look overly healthy.

Thanks Silken. I have had this one for a year it spiked for me just after I got it last year and it is blooming again. I kept mine very dry and very cold from beginning of October to when it started growing new pbulbs this Januray - I think.
Someone on another forum said that it looks as if it is a Rawdon Jester ... I shall have to ask the nursery to make sure but I am fairly confident that it is a grade. |

Thanks for the info. I do follow that culture fairly close. Maybe not dry enough. Mine seems very small even tho it was supposed to be near bloom size when I got it in 2009! If it bloomed for you with the very cool conditions, I would say it is the grande as the Rawdon Jester needs a bit warmer conditions with the other parent in it. It looks like the grande pictures in OW to me. My grande is a much darker green than my Rawdon Jester and much smaller.

Thanks again. I have just e mailed the seller and so I shall see what he says. I think that it is a grande though as it looks more like it to my eye anyway. |
