Cuttings do give some blooms sometimes from its latent buds..from the previous season, left at the tip, then they open up to bloom. But it does not mean it has rooted, till new leaves have actually formed. That is why if it is still a cutting and does that, the advice is to remove the inflo, so the cutting can concentrate on making new roots. It is a personal decision to do so, keep the bloom or not. Learned that on my previous attempts. cutting bloomed, but nada roots.

That's why I said you have better growing conditions Mike SoCal temps more stable than ours here. My garden is now littered with tons of leaves..feels like Fall is here, yet we are still hitting upper 90's to 100's..or maybe the trees are just conserving its resources and doing away with the first batch of leaves it has made to give way to new ones, this has been one very long dry spell.
