Flowers blooming too fast?

Willoughby, OH(Zone 5a)

My geraniums I started from cuttings have flower buds on them,and my linaria is blooming! Both are in my coldframes.Should I pinch off the flower stems?Not let them bloom yet? I can't put them out till May 15th,in my zone.Any advice?

They both look lovely! I wouldn't worry about having them bloom already, as transplants bought at the LGS are often in bloom & seem to do just fine when planted out. If you think they're getting badly root bound, you might up-pot them if you have room, especailly the Linarea which looks like maybe it's in a 72 cell flat?

Thank you,critterologist! I will pot them up!

Your linaria is gorgeous! I have some going too but mine aren't blooming
yet. I planted too many seeds into each cell and had to divide them. And
probably will need to pull them apart again too.

I just love this time of year!
