With all due respect to you and also to Jerry Fischer, by your timelines that is only 14 months. How many phrags have any of us (including the Phrag Masters of the world) bloomed 14 months from flask? You see, this is so confusing to many, I am sure. There was a time when you would not believe that anyone could have a seedling of Pk almost 12" a while back (which is most likely a Pk hybrid). That plant is not ready for blooming yet and that was from flasks imported in April of 2005, 23 months ago. Now you are telling the world that Glen has a plant that IS big enough to bloom in only 14 months? Hybrid vigor and small parent aside, how is this possible? Do you guys have some new fertilizer or such that you are using? Sorry Jerry, I disagree with you.
