Nancy, Congrats that your are reblooming it! Sounds like you have the right idea. If you are giving the recommended care and others like it do not perform the same, probably is the genetics. Might be worth asking if others who have that one, how they treat it. I for one love fragrance so I might excuse an 'ugly child' :~) But don't send it to me, I'm liquidating mine. :(
