I expected Aldersgate to be my first bloom of the year since it was over wintered inside in a 10 gallon pot. I moved it back outside about a month ago and sure enough it started to scape. I 've been watching it and FFO was today.
What I totally missed was prickly sensation had a flower open yesterday! I found the spent bloom on a short scape. There are a few more buds on the stunted scape. The clump has about 7 other taller scapes that still have a couple weeks till bloom. Bummer I missed the first bloom of the season. Positive spin, early bloom this year????
