senescence because the ornamental value of many plants lies in the process of blooming. Yet, there are few studies of the efficient maintenance of plants indoors, where the light intensity is low ( Fanourakis et al., 2013 ). This highlights the need to study

Apricots are the first fruit species to bloom each spring in northern New Mexico, with blooming dates ranging from early to late March—or as late as 10 Apr. in 2010—depending on the cultivar and weather conditions each year. Apricot is well known

Abstract
Various pear species bloom at different times during the spring. Pyrus calleryana Decaisne is one of the earliest and P. communis L. is one of the latest blooming species. In 1975 there were 34 days between the earliest and latest blooming clones. When species or selections with different bloom times were crossed, two generations were needed to bring the bloom time of the progeny to the bloom time of the later blooming parent. The bloom of any given progeny occurred within only 4 to 5 days. No seedling in a progeny flowered later than the later blooming parent. Discovery of late blooming germplasm is essential for the development of late blooming types of pears.

Abstract
In Sichuan, China, 3 different types of Citrus ichangensis (Swingle) with mono-winged petioles and 1 type with tri-winged petioles have been found. Among 3 types with mono-winged petioles are an early-blooming type with white flowers, an intermediate-blooming type with purple flowers, and a late-blooming type with light purple flowers. The tri-winged petiole type is more cold-hardy than any other type of C. ichangensis growing in this area.
