Blooming Size
I don't mind waiting for a plant to bloom for a year or 18 months. I'll
only wait years on the little babies or very young seedlings if they promise to have a nice bloom, either color or form. Shell "Michael Gerzog" wrote in message om... "Ray" wrote in message ... As another example, I occasionally buy seedlings from H&R in Hawaii. For them, a plant in a 2" pot may very well be "NBS" and may bloom in a matter of months, while for me in Pennsylvania, it could be a year or more out for the same seedling. It also depends on your definitions. I've always understood "blooming size" to mean it should flower on the next growth or in season, which may well be up to a year from purchase. And NBS, of course, is younger still, usually 18-24 months from probable flowering age/size. But otherwise I agree with what you've said -- it's kind of like someone asking "when to water" (the answer of course is when the plant needs it). Without experience, there is no way to judge for yourself how long the plant will take to flower in your conditions, and even then, there are always surprises. If you find you can't trust a grower's description (as a rough guide, of course) and consider it important information, you need to find (a) new source(s). MG |
