A first megabloom from the 6.66. Now, this one didn't take and I'm not surprised. Plants have been in the ground for only two weeks. The plant decided, "nope, I'm not ready". You can tell when it doesn't take when the stem begins to crack right before falling off. It was expected. The largest flower doesn't necessarily mean the largest fruit. When the plant grows large I'll choose a 3-4 fused somewhere in my many growth tips. It will be the largest flower in the groups of flowers in the next month. The root system is large then and the plant will be ready. My plants went into the garden 1 week older this year which didn't help with first megablooms. We will see. There are plenty of large first megablooms in the patch that will be ready for pollination in the next 7-10 days.
