REB: Repeat bloom
Hi,
Last week I wrote that a few days earlier 'Frequent Flyer had started
sending up stalks. Today I see color (if you can call white color), and
the first flower should be open tomorrow or Saturday. If I'm remembering
correctly (I may be counting wrong), that's about ten days from first sign
of a swelling in the fan to stalks with flowers open. Looks like the
ultimate height should be about 2 ft, but they look strong and healthy with
lots of buds. There are more rebloom stalks than there were "first bloom"
stalks in April! That means it was in flower in November (when I got it),
in January, in April, and now it will be flowering in June. Looks like
it's on something like a six or seven week cycle. Admittedly it was in a
pot in a greenhouse for the January bloom, so that one probably wouldn't
happen outdoors. I wonder if being in the greenhouse for part of the
winter is still influencing its behavior?
