    I have an azalea plant that was given to me a couple of years ago when I lived in BC. I moved to Saskatchewan last September and since then have only had two flowers on the plant. All the buds are brown when they appear and refuse to open. The plant itself is healthy and has lots of new leaf growth - I just don't know why I can't get it to flower and why the buds are brown.

    Can somebody help please?

    It is just Internet slang.
    eom means end of message. Chimera probably wanted to say something, but changed his mind.
    hth means hope this help.

    Yes, re eom, thanks sundrop.

    I was thinking the buds may have been frost bitten growing outside, then realized the topic is for "indoor and greenhouse plants".
