Hi John
I have always had the best flowers from Terminator out of 10″ clay pots 5 bulbs to the pot as they are much more refined than in the ground which are usually rougher. This year nature performed her magic and proved that they can be better in the ground than in pots. The ones in the pots were very vigorous and the flowers were big and rough Perhaps the lateness of the season allowed too much growth in the pots which is what normally happens in the ground. In the ground the flowering time was delayed and plants were not as vigourous, but the flowers were very refined and flowered from the 8th – 26 April.
I will continue to grow Terminator both ways then I will have nature covered, or will I?
Roger

Subject: [daffnet] Terminator .
This one has a great record in the early season U K shows ..
In our area it is usually well finished before the show season but colour,
quality and consistency are the marks of this big , bright flower .
Terminator — 2 Y – R
Are all the top blooms of Terminator we see from the U K , pot grown ?? .
Cup shape can be a problem ; not many truly round cups in this group .
Cheers John
