Cxcanh, When and how long is the blooming season for micranthum? Do you have any idea as to how long the bloom lasts in nature? I ask, as I find that in a moist greenhouse the flower may last from 4 to 6 weeks but if I bring them into my dry home the bloom can be much shorter. I was also wondering if the temperature that the flower blooms in effects how deep or washed out the color is? Thanks for any questions that you may be able to educate me on.

The blooming season for micranthum from now until end March or early April depend on the location (it related to weather, templeture...). In the nature it also can last for 3-4 weeks (also depend on weather). Yes, the color also depend on the light that plan got (more or less sun)
