Actually in your example we are dealing with neither the subjective nor
objective pronoun. We are dealing with a relative pronoun that you have
used to start the relative clause "who finished blooming 2 weeks ago"

In American speak the relative pronounes are, "who", 'that" and "which".
Relative pronouns do not have a gender. However, the words "that" and
"which" are used to refer back to an object that is not a person, but "who"
is often used also.

Deciding to use "that"or "which" is a matter of choice also, but if you can
determine if the relative clause is essential to the sentence or if it is
just a thought that is added on, you can chose which is *more* correct. Use
"that" when the relative phrase is essential. Use 'which" when the sentence
would make sense if the relative phase were omitted.

"whom" wold be wrong here no matter what.

| (who)
| subjective pronoun
| a pronoun that performs an action
|
| (whom)
| objective pronoun
| a pronoun that receives an action

bringing

| hello everyone!

| I switched to MSU fertilizer about 4 to 5 weeks ago!
| This morning, I found my Phal Penang Girl, who finished blooming 2
weeks
| ago, growing another flower spike!!! Is this related to the new MSU?
|
| I like that!

|
| PS: BTW, should I say who finished blooming or whom finished blooming?
