Well mine large white Natchez's are in bloom now also, just noticed it this past week. My Red Dynamites started to bloom two weeks ago, not near like they usually do, but they are blooming. So I'm pretty sure it was just our drought in the late spring through early summer that kept them from blooming at the normal time. I have three in pots and they still haven't bloomed either, and they did last year. The rain has really helped things along...thank goodness.
