Earlier this summer, we planted a Jackmanii. Its stems were damaged in
the process of securing to the lattice fence so we had to cut it back.
Thankfully, it seems to have recovered nicely and it's growing up the
fence. More than a dozen flowers have bloomed and there are a good
number of additional buds waiting to pop.

We are in a severe drought so everything is struggling. Would we be
wise to pinch the flower buds and give the plant an opportunity to use
its energy to get established?
