Just for some clarification:
As I understand it, you get one bloom stalk (sometimes with lots of
branches) per increase.
Not every increase will bloom the next season. (is there a general
percentage?)
Is clumping slowley or fast(ly) (grin) the same or different from the
rate a mother generates increases?
