Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Mystery of my 4 O'clocks...., 0 by Gitagal

Weird! I tell you--weird!

My Broken Colors 4's from last Summer dropped enough seeds for many volunteers to come up this Spring. I learned to differentiate the 4's seedlings from the Grandpa Otts that also were coming up in the same area.
The 4's had a slighter indentation in the seedling leaves than the Otts MG.

So, I dug up several and planted them here and there. They were all growing well--and still are---BUT..........about four of the transplanted (when small) 4's are just green bushes. Not one flower!
The other 2 or 3 are blooming away in different locations.

Can there be a non-blooming 4 O'clock? And if yes--then WHY?

Here is one of the green bushes.....all lush and healthy.
