Question about Creamsickle

18 years ago

Oh my! I wrote a long post, but it's not showing up. Anyway, I bought some Creamsickle cuttings two years ago on Ebay from a reputable dealer. I also bought Isabella, and he sent me a bonus of three cuttings of something that was supposed to be yellow.

Anyway, after two years, my Creamsickle is finally blooming. The thing is, it's coming out yellow! It's not quite open yet, but it doesn't look double at all. I know I tagged it right, and it's been in this pot since I got it rooted, so I know it's the one that was supposed to be Creamsickle.

I've never had a double, so tell me if this one usually comes out yellow, then changes, or do I have the wrong plant? The leaves look right. I'm just hoping it wasn't mistagged, and I'm not going to end up with the bonus plant instead, because I traded the bonus cuttings for something else.

On the other hand, Isabella is so slow growing, I've just about given up that she will ever have flowers. After taking a long time to root, and losing two of the three cuttings to rot, she's still only about 3 feet tall, and it seems no matter how much food I give her, she just grows at snail rate! Maybe she just needs warmer weather. We'll see.
