How's your emersonii doing?

When was the last time you bred your phili? Not many around that can claim direct wild ancestry!!

The emersonii is quite slow growing. I got it a few years ago from Cloud's in Canada, and it didn't do anything for the first year that I had it. It finally has started to grow at a somewhat normal rate. I am thinking it will bloom in about two years.

I have not bred the phil. It is a division from Tom Kalina's 'Fox Valley' clone, so I think he has done something with it. I am thinking that it should bloom again this season, so I may consider doing something with it then, depending on what's available.
