Crimson Pirate (with thin leaves) was new this year and did bloom here, although lightly and briefly.
Other dormants gotten from "cheap" sources early in the year have gone to what is called "grassing" I think.
Gave up on getting any blooms from them and plan to get rid of them.
However, I do have dormants that have been here for at least 8 years (and were ignored) that got attention this year and have bloomed nicely.
A few set pods and are now increasing in fans.
They seem no more affected by the weather than the evergreens at this point.
I've been told that over time dormants would die out in my area of Florida, so the 8-year-olds must be pretty tough.
