The scape was pretty well along when I first noticed it, see first photos in this thread, I was not expecting to actually find scapes that early.
Well, I think using April 1 for the scape on your 'Jedi Brenda Spann' is going to be close for the beginning growth of a scape. I notice the 'Tusk' scapes are growing rapidly. I still think it'll take 3-5 weeks, but if the weather stops cooling off it may come into bloom at the early end of that guess if it continues growing at the current rate. It shouldn't even be the plant to show scapes first. It's registered as an EM bloomer and there are several EEs and more Es along with a bunch of Ems and I'm not finding any scapes on those. Not only that, but in a way 'Tusk' is almost a rescue plant. It looked so sad the vendor refunded the price (I appreciated that but returned it). It did recover well last year, but still doesn't look as good as others growing. But a scape is a scape and the plant doesn't look bad now. Barring some kind of outside event, it will bloom first unless I'm looking a scape somewhere and just not seeing it.
