If they are truly 'bigger seedlings', do you think they are big enough to possibly be going through a routine yearly leave-loss? Some dends are deciduous and they lose their leaves. Then they bloom...

Just gorgeous. At least you can take 'non-blast' credit and also credit for having such good taste to buy such a beauty. May I ask where you purchased it?
