P. aureosulcata 'spectabilis' flowering

Hey all,

My 'spectabilis' is flowering! : (

I noticed the flowers today while trimming out dead canes from this year's winter damage. So far, only a few flowers are present on last year's canes. I was very excited as my 'spectabilis' put out 18-20 canes this spring with the tallest being 6-7 feet. I hope it's not doomed now that it's started flowering!

Question 1 - is anyone else's 'spectabilis' flowering?

Question 2 - is my plant doomed to a slow death or is there a possibility of it recovering from flowering? As I mentioned, I've only noticed a handful of flowers on last year's canes that survived this past winter.

Thanks for your input! I can take pictures tomorrow and post them if need be.
