Have to agree with Mary Dunn on bloom order, I think a well balanced
show stalk that has side bloom open is more pleasing to the eye, when
the top flower is in bloom then it looks top heavy as opposed to one
side bloom open and a closed bud at the top. Much easier to balance in a
flower arrangement also. lorraine N.
