Notes
6/18/2015
Been flowering since installation.
8/14/2015
while most are still flowering constantly, they haven’t done much else. many have become leggy with little new growth.
11/5/2015
These have put on a decent bit of growth with the cooler temps and recent rains
11/18/2015
many have started turning to mush... mostly the leaves but even some of the stems. I guess they do not like the cool temperatures
3/22/2016
all are still dormant
5/27/2016
a few have emerged but I don’t have much hope for the ones that haven’t yet
