| I am so excited that my 'Mount Lips' is blooming for the second time! I kept waiting and waiting for that first flower to open.. the bud was getting HUGE... and it finally did! But two more opened within a few days... The newest one is almost half the size of the first flower. Is that normal? Otherwise, what could be causing them to open before they're ready? |

| They are ready or they wouldn't open. The blooms will enlarge over the next few days. Eventually they will be as big as your first one. Congratulations, enjoy them. Brooke |

| I have a 2" seedling that decided to bloom. It produced a single half-sized flower. The purists will tell you not to let young plants flower, but why the hell not, if they have a mind to? I've never heard of a case of it harming the plant or preventing later flowering. |
