That is a very interesting concept. Thank you Dr. Houseleeks.
I think it is also more difficult to do this type of research with newly acquired plants, as some are difficult to tell if they are first year or older rosettes. But in the case of Red Rubin, it is making offsets, most of which are developing normally. Three of the offsets are elongating and starting to form flower heads.
We definitely have been having some very strange weather for our part of the country also.
I will start keeping records of the plants that are having this issue.
