This year, it was Ida's Magic. I mean, it was Country Melody, but I called it Ida's Magic. So, as it happens, Country Melody has bloomed and gone, leaving me with two fat seedpods to watch over. That's good news. (About the seedpods, I mean.)

Now for the bad news.
I overlooked Ida's Magic because it did not -- and likely will not -- bloom this year. There is some sparse foliage there, but no scapes. It actually didn't seem too healthy last year, either, now that I look at the photo.

Looks like it's time for some TLC for both Ida's Magic and Scatterbrain. Scatterbrain is on its second year of not blooming. I hope that if I transplant these two to different locations and give them a good fertilizer they will do better next year.
