My CC's have all already bloomed and they usually bloom once & that's it.This year we have had crazy weather.We didn't see the sun for more than half a day or less for a month & a half.The temp's stayed cooler than usual and 2 of my plants are in front of a bay window.
Every year i put my plants in the dark for as many hours possible a day & temp's in or around 50 degree's.When they begin to bud i bring them in and put them in a sunny spot where they will stay while in bloom.I do this so they will be in bloom during the holidays!
I think because of the fore-mentioned weather conditions i have been given another show.
The one above i hadn't even noticed the bud & i don't know how i didn't,it's my 'polka dancer' which have very large,plump buds but on valentines day this is what i found when i got up that morning a flower from my CC!!
Now it's covered in buds.The gold one unfortunately has only given me one flower,hopefully it will follow in it's neighbors foot steps & continue to bud.
Just thought i would tell my story,actually i have been dying to tell 2 stories this one & i'm going to have to head over to the Hoya forum soon to tell the other.
Have A Nice Day !!!
