Looks like it will be worth the wait! If you are seeing buds, not too much longer.

I will say my twinkle doesn't take that long from spike to flower, I'd assume yours just stalled-out over winter.

Good luck,

Bob

Alyssa, the "Twinkle" hybrids are notorious for taking months from spike to actual bloom, but the display is very nice. Usually spike in mid-winter (January) and may not open flowers until June or even later into August. Patience.................

This one started in August! The wait is agonizing

Wow! Jane, that color is beautiful and so many little flowers. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be posting pictures of it in bloom, might not be until April 2020 though! Lol

Thanks! However, yours will be incredible due to the length of those spikes.

Can't wait to see it bloom!

Don't change a thing. One hint, always keep it facing the light in the exact same direction or the flowers will twist around and not present well. I always put a little mark on the pot or the tag in the front facing the sun. This way the flowers will line up nicely along the spikes. Don't turn the plant at all!

Jane

Thank you for the tip! I will definitely have to post a picture when it’s in full bloom, I’m excited to see the display!

We have ONE FLOWER

Yay!!!

It's ready to go...hopefully!

Jane
