(April 24, 2024) Update -- No end of the flowering in sight. It's interesting that it looks almost like 100% of the terminal buds became determinate inflorescences, meaning no vegetative buds on the end anymore! After very close inspection, the apical inflorescence has a tiny, inactive vegetative bud at the center. Still no sign of a vegetative flush starting anywhere on the graft.
(April 20, 2024) Still flowering -- Profusely!
(March 14, 2024) First flower -- Today was the first flower to open on any variety in the greenhouse, and Walter Hole won the race.
(March 4, 2024) Flowering update -- Forgot to post this photo two days ago when I took it. Flowers still expanding but not opening yet.
(February 5, 2024) Flowering update -- Though it may still be first to open, it's been very slow to expand still, and others are overtaking it, such as Joey and maybe Jade.
(January 28, 2024) Flowering update -- Looks like this will be the first variety to flower in the greenhouse this year, though Jade (on same roots) is a close second.
