WOW -

thank you -

super nice - healthy plant.

Fred would tell you that you have to remove the bottom row of leaves- they are smaller than next row. If you want to get a blue ribbon on a show - you can start removing bloom right now - and stop doing it 6-7 weeks before the show - so you have more bloom - and it is a winner!! It is not a mini - it is semi-mini - and it has a potential for a lushier bloom.

Marigene - you can leave one bloomstalk and remove the rest - you have a potential Best in Class one. And it is in its prime time - after the year of life - the vigour diminishes - so if you want to take advantage - go for it.
