Sunday Surprise

9 years ago

Clementella, which I planted last fall because it is supposed to be an early bloomer, has so far lived up to that billing; it bloomed on May 6th. The previous earliest bloom date was May 27th of last year, when Stella D'Oro was the first to bloom. Prior to last year, my first bloom was always in June. I have to believe that the two consecutive mild winters (global warming?) have something to do with these early bloom dates.

But I digress from the point of this post. Prior to today, the largest number of new blooms on Clementella was four; today I was shocked to see eight! I have only three plants and all things considered, eight blooms is a lot. Photos are attached.

They are a disappointment, but I attached them anyway just because I am psyched about this season. Two other early bloomers for me are Suzie Wong and Happy Returns, both of which have sent up tons of scapes with tons of buds.
