Actually, Titan's Glory is doing really well here. It's put up 3 bloom
stalks, each from different fans. Especially when you consider I only
bought one. So far, all that's bloomed for me is Thornbird, Megabucks,
Swingtown, Center Court (a gorgeous, sweet smelling blue plic, all of
you should get it.), Stop the Music, Degas Dancer, and Sky Hooks (the
first to bloom.)
Are these all early bloomers? THat would explain alot!
