Hi Eric,

Maybe you and the others with the same problem could talk a little about
your growing conditions (inside, outside, etc) and state where you live.
I wonder if the late flowering of some plants is caused by environmental
conditions (increased temp, light, water, etc) allowing the plants to
continue to grow when they should be entering dormancy, thus allowing
next spring's flower to pop out way too early.

David
