Question from
Lisa Sargent
I love these plants - and have a group of six. All are full of buds and some of them are in flower. I am particularly concerned about two stems on one of the plants - the stems seem to have reddened and flattened, just below the flowers, which have "keeled over". All other stems on this plant - and on the others - seem OK. Advice would be appreciated.
