Mine are doing the same thing by design. I wanted bloom now in order to get early fruit next spring. This is in a greenhouse where it won't freeze. I forced flowers by pruning. It looks like you pruned recently. It won't affect next yrs production significantly even if your early flowers freeze. Protect the flowers from freezing and you might have some early fruit. Houston doesn't freeze that often and they'll survive a light freeze down to about 28F. You'll find unusually large berries if some survive. Here is a link that might be useful: blueberry vegetative/flower

Gosh, when I first looked at your image, I thought that you were talking about the blossoms! What is a bit difficult to see in the photograph are some scale insects, one of the Wax Scales. I don't envy you; they can be difficult to control. Google will be of great help, now that you know what they are.

thank you tlbean2004 and christine. I also look forward to hearing what others' experience is with this! I fell in love with oxalis triangularis last year, my work colleague had one at the office, but I only got my first plant a few months ago, then I found that there are other colours and so I ordered more bulbs online. I have now 4 different colours of oxalis ( I'm attaching some pics of them, and my breakfast included ). I have seen in some websites some purple-green leaf oxalis that I have not been able to get yet. Also, in case you are interested (or maybe you know it already), there are many books on floriculture and I decided yesterday to buy one online, so I can understand more about this plant, but in general to have a reference book for other plans. I leave you the reference, mine will arrive in a few days. http://www.pearson.ch/HigherEducation/Agriculture/Horticulture/1471/9780130462503/Floriculture-Principles-and-Species.aspx Have a great day and thanks again for your comments!

Well, here's the inside of it. Whatever it was has either decayed beyond recognition or left long ago. When I went to pull the top off it, I notice a small slit in the covering close to the edge, so it's possible whatever was in it emerged and that is just some silk remnants or something. Any thoughts on what type of insect makes something like this?
