Ex? I'm curious. I kind of figure most things that *may* re-bloom are
encouraged to do so when pruned or harvested, and most that *don't*,
like glads and daffodils, are better off deadheaded just to keep
energy from going into seed production. But I'm unaware of anything
that really pouts when spent blooms are removed.
