But we'll be long done while you are enjoying yours, so you'll get 
even.

I like it pretty well, actually.  Considering the last bloom opened 
today, it's done pretty well.  Especially considering that two 
stalks were completely frozen out.  I like the pattern and color.  
I'd prefer a tighter bloom on the form.  The three stalks that did 
bloom had two short branches each.  That's a lot of branching for an 
AB.  However they were poorly spaced.  More like the main stalk just 
forked into three stems.  The result for the bloom was they were too 
crowded and all in the top third.  Maiden bloom, so everything could 
change.  I'd be surprised to see the branching again.

I'd like it better if I could manage to get to a subsequent 
generation with some of them.  That's proving difficult.

Still around, but none have resulted in seeds.

Not a lot.  Too many got frozen out this year.  Some are similar to 
what I've posted and some just didn't get a mug shot taken.

I hope your ABs bloom well.  They've done pretty well for you way up 
north.
