Tish, I have a leaf down of Alissa and she has been one of the slowest to make babies. I mean awfully slow! I see a smidgen of an ear, that's been there for at least two weeks. So, maybe she's a shy bloomer too. The same with a leaf of Texas Hot Chili(strep). I've had it down since September and no babies!!! I told Jim I wanted to toss her because of that and he told me to be patient because she's a slow grower. So, I put my patience hat on and went and sat down in the corner. LOL

Here is Helter Skelter- God, I love this bloom! I think this is my favorite David Thompson hybrid. I'm partial to yellow centers on any strep, though.
