A couple of new blooms this week.
Another Acadia (March 7th pic) gave a nice bloom on a cutting. Nice to put those small pots with blooms on the dining table for a couple of days.
Strictum (Mar.25th) on the driveway had another bloom and has five or six more buds coming.

New blooms this week are Wild Acclaim (first pic). Seven blooms so far with a couple more to come.
My NOID red with fushcia center put out its first bloom. This is my most prolific bloomer. I have multiple plants. They are easy to grow.

I took a photo of my largest plant. Its Grand Prize. I have multiple plants of Grand Prize of various ages. This plant has the longest branches, some are over 3 ft long and lots of growth. Buds are appearing. Not sure what to do at the end of the blooming season. Do I let it keep getting bigger and trim it. I could get 50 cuttings at least. It makes a strong healthy plant, strong cuttings and large flamboyant blooms. Probably offer it as give away or trade in Sept.or October. Should have first blooms to post later this month.

Still early in the season yet.
