Sue,

It seemed to take forever for the foliage to even appear and I would say that it took about a month after that for the bloom stalk to pop up. I had to go out and look to see how much sun it's getting. We are having a few moments of sun between the clouds. You know how it's been. My best guess is, they are getting about 2-3 hours of full direct sun. They are shaded first thing in the morning by a Royal Poinciana in my back neighbors yard, and then in the afternoon by the mango tree with a bit of filtering in between all that. Here's a longer shot of that bed. Sue, I'm sure your blooms will be along shortly.

Corky, thanks for that, I was afraid I had given you some of those worms. Having one person in this country upset with me for passing on garden vermin is enough for me. :^))))
