No reason it shouldn't bloom soon under your expert care & satisfy "our" curiosity!
It sure is hairy though. I've not left any cerinthoides outside for winter. Now I want to, to see what the spring growth looks like. If it's been in significant sun exposure, that could account for the hair & pink stems. I've only tried this in pretty shady spots, & inside for winter since I got a few yrs ago.
There is some T. sillamontana coming out of the ground from last year, but also in a shady spot. It's so hairy that it looks white, and is green underneath the hair on the top of the leaves. If it *EVER* stops raining, I've been curious what color the bottom of the leaves are at this point too... will try to get a pic Tues or Wed if not sooner, assuming we haven't been washed away...
Edit:
Added a couple pics of T. sillamontana coming up outside today. No sign of pink on the stems, or purple on the leaf bottoms at all.
