Hi FTCF-
I'm having a bit of a problem: My D. Capensis will not stop flowering! I let it flower ONCE this summer, which tired it out, but just as it started to recover, it sent up another flower stalk (which I clipped off), weakening it again. This repeats another three or four times, the most recent occasion being today. It apparently does not know or care that it will kill itself at this rate! (It's a plant, of course it doesn't.) How do I make my plant make more foliage and stop making flower stalks, at least for a while?
