Do the blooms/buds usually get bigger or smaller after the very 1st bloom? Can it go either way? This is a Susie Seedling, its about 3½ feet tall, and heres the bud (that I could NOT stand to wait for so I ripped open the calyx).
I know there are a few smaller blooms out there. Has anyone measured them? Like Mercury.
I just can not believe how small it is. The little trendils are ¼ inch long. Just a small little patio brug. The seed was planted in January of this year, and it has not wilted once in the heat. (No humidity here tho) But I have others that are just sad come mid-day. I dont water this one near as much as the others, MAYBE every other day.
Edited to change from Gemini to Mercury.
