Perhaps they need a specific number of warm days (which they would get earlier than they do here). Blooming time can be puzzling. Reading a blog from France I realized that Catalpas bloom at exactly the same time there as here. You would think they would blooms weeks earlier.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-54304474653429410422014-10-21T17:46:21.398-04:002014-10-21T17:46:21.398-04:00You have some delightful stragglers.
