Sorry for your weather losses, Mary Lou. I was astonished
at the flooding that occurred in Johnson County -- particularly in
Franklin. Sleepy old Sugar Creek runs east of town, but was it just
the flat land that couldn't hold the amount of rain that fell?
Your first photo shows a beautiful planting. What's the red-orange
bearded amoena in the foreground? -- Griff

Hi guys, I'm back! First photo May 24. Second, June 6 -lake across
the road is
really a cornfield.
More rain in May than May through October last year. More rain in June
also.
Got hit by the edge of a tornado on May 30 (night before the local
show) which
uprooted 4 35-year-old spruce trees and left half the neighbor's
apple tree in front
of my garage door. Blooms gone, tags gone, pods gone. Foliage looked
like it was
blasted by buckshot and flattened. Pods that escaped the wind are
mostly
rotting off the stalks, but I should get some of the ones I wanted.
BTW, Linda - breeding for lucky ones seems to be working. The tree
being cut up
missed you PFIC1 by about a foot.
Glad to hear some of you getting rebloom. Haven't seen anything coming
here yet.
Mary Lou, near Indianapolis, Z5

I lack somewhat in the compassion department. I intelectually hear
the news... flooding, crop loss, disaster areas,... but I'm young
enough that I'm just desensitized to it.
"Blooms gone, tags gone, pods gone." I can feel that, on a gut
level. It's a succinct representation of the loss of what has been
acomplished and what has been hoped for.
Thanks for giving me perspective.

The white over dark red in the foreground is Starring.
Planted in 05. Bloomed below knee-level in 06 and 07.
With a long, slow warm up and lots of rain this spring,
it made it to 32 inches.
Have not been able to set a pod on it, but have
Bonus Mama X Starring seedlings big enough to bloom
this fall.
Got any more pictures, Griff?
Mary Lou, near Indianapolis, Z5 - northeast side, not
near the worst flooding!

I like the awl idea. I use scrub tops when I'm in the garden so I
can imagine that an awl could be hazardous for me.

the pod matures. My notebook will show the cross, there's a pod (or
several pods) on the stalk, but there's no cross tag. This is what
I've been doing to combat loss of ID when the tag disappears. It's
also a good way to indicate bee pods I've already spotted.

I start collecting the tags from the failed crosses. As I'm doing
that I make a notation right in the cross notes that a pod has
formed, and "etch" the cross number onto the pod itself with a pen.

a
clearly legible number even. In order to do this you have to break
the "onion skin" outter layer of the pod and cut the "juicy" inner
part. You want the mark to "bleed" a little water.

also used, a fine point Sharpie, a medium point ball pen, the corner
of one of the cross tags I picked up that day, and a fingernail.
Obviously, the fingernail is tricky. The medium point pen tends to
bunch the flesh which leads to a less crisp marking. The fine point
sharpie was easier to use, but didn't damage the skin enough to
create scarring- it still leaves a nice impression.

Chameleon- this one all I had was a fingernail. The second shot is
the goal, a highly legible mark that isn't going to get seperated
