While it is still too early for real blooms the promise is there... these pictures I took today:

On January 8th an old inflorescence from last year gave me one more bloom.... not exactly the first bloom of the 2011 growing season though, but what a welcome sight! This is variety 'Donna S' which is known for its long lasting inflos.

That is a beautiful color, Hetty! I guess this one should be on my wishlist...lol!

Here we go.....
Vera Cruz Rose (at a friend's house)

let the party begin!

Here is what I believe to be a Celadine seedling blooming in Key West.

lovely flowers Hetty, mine went dormant for the winter and I am surprised how fast they are showing signs of life since I put them in the sunroom.

I'll have a bloom today at home - the first one, I'll post a picture when I get home, it was just opening up this morning

Here is 'Gretchen', a new variety from Florida Colors (seedling of Abigail) a very compact growing plant!



This is the plant - picture taken last August.

very nice.
here are mine,leafing out real nice

They're looking great Doris!

Thank you Hetty

Well no blooms yet but there is hope.

That's more than hope, that is a PROMISE!
Keep us posted!

How long do they take to start to open?
Will they bloom drop if I move the planter?

Don't want to rock the boat....lol!

Those buds look like they are about 3-4 weeks from opening. I wouldn't necessarily change their position too much at this point. Does it get sun?

It's at work in a south facing window and receives sun from sunup to about 2 hours before sundown.
A roof overhang will start shading it from the noon sun, from say 11AM-1PM, in about a month.
I can bring it home to my GH if needed.
I'd mark the orientation and set it up in exactly the same position.

Now is a good time to give it some timed-release fertilizer if you haven't yet done so.

I've been giving it a weekly watering w/ a light fert mix.

That probably gives it more growth than you need since you are keeping it indoors. I would switch to a well-balanced timed release (10.10.10 or similar).
