Don't you feel like you just have to see them, to make sure they're the correct plant if not to enjoy the blooms? I don't think I could ever cut off a scape if I thought it would really bloom -- but then I live in a pretty warm climate...
I have two scapes on CHARISMATIC right now with buds, and we're leaving town on the 15th for a two-week vacation -- and I just hope I get to see even one bloom before we leave or after we return. It'll be really close...
