blooms

11 years ago

So, when I returned from my vacation I was thrilled to see that my Krimson Queen had buds. This is the same plant (given to me by a friend) that I had difficulty with over the winter. It hasn't bloomed at all this season. My question for you all is how long does it usually take before flowers bloom? I have had these buds at least 6 days with no evidence that they are even beginning to open.

Your advice is sure appreciated!

Thanks for the info, Kittee. Now I won't be as disappointed because they haven't opened. I'll give them more time.
