Not unusual, I have 2 covered in buds too, I am in N. TX.

Ok! I thought they were once a year bloomers. Needless to say, I’m delighted.

Mine too! I thought they were usually fall bloomers, but the ones I bought last year didn't last long and are budding now! The plants I had for many years bloomed at the right time.

I kinda think when they are raised in hot houses (or cool houses) in order to bloom at a certain time, it takes them some time to get their bloom together to eventually bloom at the right time. Nancy
