Here is slow-poke semiminiature Irish Flirt. It was grown according to the 'grow for show countdown' just as all the others. Our local show was March 3-4 and not one bloom on this guy until now! Too late. Is this typical for this variety? Has anyone else had this kind of trouble?
Didn't bloom on time
Oh, Jamie . . . I know your pain. I didn't have one plant to enter in the state show back in November, because nothing had near enough blooms. Everything was beautiful 2 weeks later! Our club show is at the end of April, and I hope the blooms will still be looking good . . .
It sure is gorgeous now!! I'm not sure on your question,but I know that cultivar has won many awards in shows.

I followed the regular schedule for when to stop disbudding before a show. This was one a 3 plants that just didn't bloom by the time expected so I was wondering if that's peculiar to this variety.
that is really pretty.
Jamie
that is so pretty.
I am sorry to say - they are like peeps with their own mind. Next year you want to know better and use this formula it won't work - have their own mind. Beautiful plant though.
You just have to grow more for show and then pick and choose which to take. It's such a game and i loved it.
I wish we lived nearby and I'd make you bring some of your gorgeous plants to our show.
Little bugger being late.... ha. SO pretty!!!
Jamie,
You have Dmail.
