Cecile Brunner (Cl)
In the interest of reporting, I just wanted to note that my CB(CL) has
been in continuous bloom since the onset of blooms. That's been about 3 months now. I had the first really big flush back in May, but there have always been more than just scattered blooms on the plant. I had a pretty good sized "second flush" that included throwing 2 huge panticles directly from the base of the plant (not off of a stem). Here's a pic of it, although it's a bit difficult to see. First is on May 5th and you can see them growing on the right side (the red stems): http://mywpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/CB1.jpg A week later: http://mywpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/CB2.jpg Then, almost in full bloom the second week of June: http://mywpages.comcast.net/ddweil2/CBJune8.jpg Other than that bloom, I've always had lots of clusters higher up. As some fade, others open (and I haven't trimmed any of them up in the tree, basically because it wold be a pain in the ass...) I just mention this because this is the first year that I've seen this (third year). The first two, I only got a very scattered set of blooms after the flush (and long stretches with *no* blooms). I wonder if there *are* indeed nonreblooming and reblooming versions, or if the reporting of nonreblooming plants is just those observing young specimens. Anybody with experience in this area? Also, I *wa*s going to ask what I should have done with those panticles as they've been bare for about 3 weeks now. I was hesitant to cut them because they didn't grow like a normal cane, and I've now been rewarded with new growth coming directly out of the fan of canes at the tip. If they all generate new canes, then I'm going to be overwhelmed with new growth! The only downside is that they will all be fairly small diameter canes supported by one BIG HONKIN' basal. Still, might work well for covering the trunk of the tree. Just thought I'd throw this out for the record... |
