Thanks to Ellen Gallegher whose fine photos
reminded me to go back to my library for this one.
Here it is, the impossible, a siberian with  
three well separated blooms out at once.  It was
perfect at the time   
of judging.   Because I had no great expectations
for the late show,  
I didn't take my camera, so this is what it looked
like after bringing it home.  If it is a little
the worse for the wear, with a notch out of the
left fall of the top bloom, consider that this
surviver has travelled 40 miles to Sioux Center,
sat in the show all day, and returned another 40
miles home (this time in a bucket with  
all the rest of my entries.)   This stalk beat out
all the tall  
bearded entries, in a late show for TB's.  It was
the sparsest show I can recall us having, and in
addition to my 21 TB's my 17 siberian, 2 spuria,
and lactea entries helped flesh it out.
