Buds That Don't Open

13 years ago

Hello everyone - I was wondering if someone has had experience with Irish Laughter. Is it one that sends up great big green buds that look like they will be white when open and then they never open? Or is it somthing I'm doing wrong in my care of it? I am also having great difficulty getting Irish Flirt to grow - I've never even got close to the bud stage with it. I swear I like most all things Irish!!!LOL Thank You junebabe, Smiles, Linda

Awhile ago, one of my violets (Starry Night Blue) gradually got to the point where it wasn't fully opening its buds.

I repotted it and it's doing much better.

Could it be a humidity issue? I've had problems with some of those small (mini/semi)white/green ones, but the blossoms just looked more like chickweed. I threw one out not too long ago.

It was happening with my new Planet Kid, which I'd grown before with blossoms. I do have 2 but changing to a location that wasn't as warm & dry has improved the flowers.

My first Irish Flirt bloomed but the plant was all twisted. I thought it was just like that until someone posted theirs. Eventually I got another one and the foliage behaved much better. This one has always opened for me and I gave it to DD where it's still blooming although the plant looks sad.

I take it you are sure about things like thrips? I have no experience there.
