Have you done spring mailing before? How has it worked?

The plants I got back from Victoria convention,(some send even before
they bloomed) just sulked all year. Most looked the same in fall as
when they were planted, a few shrank, a few had some limited growth,
some died.

Generally it seems they are way behind where they would be if left and
mailed in Aug.

But different areas may have a different experience.

Here are two of my best diploid bearded (24 chromosome) seedlings for
PBF (purple based foliage) _expression_ just dug, washed and trimmed for
mailing.
