Re: Summer Rebloom Triggers

Thanks Chuck.
No sign of any inclination to send up summer stalks on anything here (other than maiden bloom on those two seedlings last month), regardless of number of leaf blades/fan. So I guess we are on the "other" side of the temperature/growth rate curve (i.e., too hot for rapid enough growth to trigger flower stalk initiation in the cultivars that thrive here).
<What seems to be happening is the onset of flower bud differentiation, which for summer rebloomers then proceeds directly to flower stalk WITHOUT need for vernalization., or daylight specific triggers.>
