don't think they bloomed. started them indoors, and then kept them in the greenhouse for a while.
got a ton of plants, but serendipity spaced them out well. in fact, got one more batch to plant today.
just wondered if flowering was a sign that they were starting to shut down. meaning, time to stop hilling?
