Leslie, you are right about the LA being early. It is in a pot and gets lots of sun but I couldn't believe it was blooming. I was looking at our LA beds for bloom stalks yesterday and saw nothing. I checked Colorific and Black Widow, two of our earliest bloomers, and there was no sign of a stalk. This is shaping up to be a very strange season for us. The AIS Region 14 spring convention is going to be about 5 miles from our house, but about 1300' higher. I hope they have some bloom left by the end of April.
