First henryanum of the season

[Ross]

For some reason, most of my henryanums bloom in the summer. I've heard that most others bloom in the fall.

We are going into winter now, and the last henryanum flower here is about to drop.

That is pretty goofy Ross. Mine generally don't think about blooming till August.

That is a good looking flower.

That is interesting....My plants bloom in early fall and never in the summer. They are growing like crazy right now.......

I love seeing these - I'm trying to wait patiently for my seedlings to bloom, but they seem to be growing in leaps and bounds and are currently working on second growths, so at least the steady progress makes waiting easier!

 

[Elena]

That's a really sweet flower.

 

[SlipperFan]

Good-looking!

That is a nice henryanum. I wish mine would hurry up but, considering its size, I think I have a years wait.

You may be surprized Ed. They are not big plants in general (maybe 8" leaf span) and I've had them bloom on a 2-3 growth plant. Some folks have had problems getting them to bloom with a small number of growths, but they are not consistently this stubborn.

Well knock me over. Mine has one large growth, a second smaller growth and two small starts and . . .and . . .and what may just be a sheath started. Won't know for sure for a few days.
