The very same thing is happening here. It must be weather for us for we don't spray, only fertilize and that was around the end of April. We had that spell of three weeks of no rain and now the rain has started again. There are some really beautiful flowers but so many are small and distorted with buds turning yellow or brown and falling off. I just noticed today that Ice Water may not bloom because all the buds look bad. I wonder what will happen in the future now that we are having storms with quite a bit of rain, will everything suddenly perk up, at least the ones that might have a chance of putting up new scapes or better blooms.
