Consecutive Blooming vs. Simultaneous?
All,
This has truly been a strange blooming season for me, and I could bore you with the details, but just this question: I have several Catts that normally each open their sheathes simultaneously. This year, they are blooming consecutively, i.e. a sheath will open, bloom, almost go by, and then comes another. While that makes for a longer blooming season for the plant overall, it eliminates the eclat of seeing the blooms all at once. Now, I know they are going to do what they please, but is there sometimes a reason for this type of variation in a formerly reliable simultaneous bloomer? Something I did, or didn't do? Especially since it's more than one plant! Diana |

Well, the opposite is happening for me. I have a Jeremiah Coleman that is
opening all at once, rather than one spike at a time. So go figure. If anyone else has any input as to whether this is cultural or weather related I too would be interested in reading it.
