Aaaah, I've got Desiree but have seen not blooms yet. Now I'm very eager.

Here's a picture of my HG to compare to your Desiree. I definitely see a strong resemblence.

And maybe it's just my imagination, but I do think my HG definitely blooms easier now than it did early on......if it will just hurry up and catch up with making a few Ys.

And yes, I spray Messenger on everything. Once you get it mixed you cannot keep it, so you might just as well use it up. Don't know if it's Messenger's work or not but I have a bloom on my Costus Barbatus ginger now. I'm not in the right zone for it and I've never seen a bloom before! (I think it is also blooming out of season.)
