Ursula, I probably have close to a dozen plants started from flask that are getting to blooming size. Several of them are in sheath/bud, including my C. Chocolate Drop 'Kodama' AM/AOS, Bc. Star Ruby 'Xanadu' AM/AOS, and Blc. Mystic Lady 'Lime Morning'. I have had these (seedlings) for 3-4 years. It looks like I WILL live long enough to see these plants bloom.
