Becky, I didn't do anything to make that plant put up a scape -- it just happened and I noticed it I think in December. I had a knee replacement in November so I wasn't doing anything in the garden for almost three months, but the plant was on a table near my patio. I figured I would probably never see blooms on it because December and January were quite cold for Bakersfield, but then in February it warmed up and the buds started opening. I still have one bud that hasn't opened yet, but who knows -- it might fall off or something because our weather is bouncing around right now.
I really love seeing seedlings also and can't wait to see yours -- and I sure hope you get something wonderful from that cross!
