Hemlady said:Maurice, I have a seedling that was blooming pretty consistently double. I moved it to another location and it is almost always now blooming single. Would this then be considered environmental, soil differences???
It
might be.
There could be other environmental factors involved. We know it is not genetic. We know the environment is involved since that is all that has been changed. But unfortunately there are several factors that may be unrelated to the move that may be involved.
1) Yearly differences in any aspect of the weather. I am assuming that the seedling grew in one location only and then all of it was moved to another location and it is now growing in that location.
2) Changes in the development of the seedling as it aged and the crown and clump grew bigger.
3) Changes that are specific to the new location and that are different from the other location that are not necessarily soil related. For example temperature differences, light differences such as shading, competition differences from nearby plants, etc.
4) Changes related to the soil.
