Hi Mike,
Cristatas are peeking out of the ground by about 1/4", SDBs are barely 1"
tall, TBs are only 4" tall, and if it warms up suddenly everything will
bloom at once. Bad for gardening. Good for crosses.
Those strange cristatas probably were weather related but I wonder how much
soil ph might affect the color? Do you still have the photos of the weird
ones?
