I think it's like the oddball ones that bloomed for me at Christmas. At least here, it was cold really early -- we had our first frost and a heavy one at that on Nov. 4th ------ WAY too early for us. From there we had a run of up & down temps., then around Thanksgiving we began about 3 weeks of frost every morning. And then we went so warm you would think it's summer. WAY too warm for the time of year. Now finally we are seeing more normal winter temps. I think the bulbs don't know what to do.
