Default Re: Possibly a flag leaf?

You go girl! Looks like your first bloom is on the way. Don't worry about it blooming at a short height. You were one of the first people I sent lateritas out to this spring, so you got some of the larger pstems, even though they were cut back, physiologically they were older, so they are blooming shorter. That's why mine bloomed at like a foot tall. I ended up cutting that one off and another stalk bloomed a couple of weeks later. My pot of laterita now has about 6 pstems coming up, with the tallest one being about 4', but no more blooms yet. I'm expecting to see a flag any day now. Last year my pot of laterita had up to 5 or 6 blooms on it at any one time. I wouldn't be surprised to see you get a bloom off of one of your pups late in the season.
