I've pruned off all the extra limbs that had buds on them, thinking that just one set of blooms might need all the effort of tthe plant. It is needing some repotting, and I just am not in the mood with wintertime and no outside place to do it.
I gave all of these a nice liquid fertilizer last week, and they seem happy enough. But they have a long way to go until frost season is over before they can go outside again. In the meantime I eat dinner under the blossoms and enjoy it just fine.
And here we are a week later...
And this plant is at 8 blossoms. We shall see if any more open.
Weather comments for yesterday, Wednesday Jan 18. It was actually partly cloudy and warm...up into the 60s. It still felt like winter though...kind of biting wind sometimes. Letting us know that more is coming...Today, Thurs. is supposed to get rain.
