I must commend you for sticking with it!

Thats a small pot and a lot of visible roots, maybee it would preform better next time. If you give it some fresh compost in a bigger pot ?.

Its a fresh medium, remove it all year, this one has to be replaced in April.
Since I use smaller pots some of them doing better for me.

If the pot is too big, they stop blooming for me.

I had just one but it was never able to flower successfully. I decided to cull it after 3 blasted buds in 4 years.

Is that "cull" as in into the garbage!?

 

[Justin]

yep.

 

[Shiva]

Better, yes! But, it may be something else going wrong next time. Good luck!

i would be interested to hear your opinions of whether or not a high degree of malformed flowers is the result of inbreeding depression / weird allelic combinations following 4-5-6 generations of sib-crossing of this grex for cut flower production...any opinions out there? I have seedlings in the lab of f3 Valerie Tonkin....is this what I should expect?

Most of the recent siblings I have seen of Lippewunder have bloomed malformed like this one. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the F2 or F3, but after that recombination seems to be quite negative. I would hope your Valerie Tonkin would turn out okay, but obviously you won't know until they are bloomed. Lippewunder is a wonderful thing when blooomed well, it's a shame that these plants are so contorted.
