The blossoms on our tuberoses do not open as they should. The tips of the unopened blossoms are yellow-brown. The blossoms that do open look brown and for lack of a better word, rotten inside. Most of the blossoms further up the spike fail to open at all. It's like the plant just gives up on the whole process. As you can see from the photo, the plant itself looks perfectly healthy with lush foliage. Has anyone ever observed this condition on their plants and can suggest a possible remedy? I would greatly appreciate any ideas or suggestions. Paul
