Hey Linda, were they plants or cuttings you bought. I have some buds coming on rooted cuttings I took last December. I find that if you take the cutting close enough prior to blooming time the cuttings will bloom. Not necessarily a good thing for future branch growth but at least for a couple of days we get a table size plant to enjoy.
The Curly Locks are putting out buds after 18 months from seed which is amazing.
Lots of buds starting to appear now. April is going to be a good month.
The pics are the latest Guiding Star Bloom, Curly Locks buds, cutting bench (one of two benches with cuttings) and the 108 Phyllanthus seedlings.
