A few from June and back on track with July.
I have been experiencing way more bud drop than usual.
2  cv in particular have been dropping almost every bud since Nov.   
It has carried over into summer.   2 very healthy cv's budding like crazy but as soon as the buds mature they drop or drop just days before opening.  Green crisp buds.
I really think it's caused by the hormone Abscisic (ABA).  No pest at all. Not a single yellow leaf.   Very ideal conditions as well.  Total pampering. 
Tried all the kelp trick but nothing works.  Tried worm casting tea didn't work.
Also moved them into more shade, more sun, or less water, or more water, nothing seems to stop the bud drop.  Again, 2 of my CV have been dropping all their buds for 9 months straight.
Outdoor, indoors, covered porch doesn't matter.   Houseplant formula or Special Blend both bud drop. 
 It seems as though the flow of sap get's reversed because when the buds fall, sap is dripping from the break just below the bud.
The weather has finally settled down and it can't be anymore perfect so hopefully they get through this on their own.   

I could only find limited topics about bud drop related to ABA.   
Just a few  CV dropping buds,  but here are some blooms that I was able to enjoy.

After about 2 hours of morning sun outside  before 11am I pulled this Pink Panther from outside but you can see how intense the sun is in my conditions.   Crazy insanely bright in my conditions.    So bright that I'm building a step bench that will have a canopy to filter the sun over my outdoor CV's.

Beautiful photos Kyle!

If that bud drop persists even in perfect weather conditions I would be thinking along the lines of the fert mix and soil composition. Which two varieties is it? Maybe the are just more tempermental than the average HVH CV?

Been having outstanding results so far this year with bloom colors....Enjoy!
