When you get your new plant home and are ready to plant, snip off any bloom that may have come with the plant. The energy will go to establishing the plant instead of maintaining the bloom.
Lee Ann and Deb, I can't bring myself to snip them off, either. I want to see my plant bloom at least ONCE!
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
"The moving hand writes and having writ moves on. Neither all thy piety nor all thy wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." The Rubiyat by Omar Khayyam
