[PHOTO] AB: OYEZ

Astoundingly, this arilbred, which I have been told is often extremely 
difficult to grow, not only survived its first winter in my frigid garden 
AND the killer winter-spring transition that proved fatal to over 150 
different TB cultivars, but it actually *bloomed*!!!  The most amazing 
element of this accomplishment, however, is the fact that I didn't 
receive this rz until Oct last year, so it didn't get planted until 
*after* we'd already had our first hard freeze!  I can generally bet on 
losing any bearded planted here after the end of August due to inadequate 
root growth before freezing weather, and I try to make sure everything's 
in the ground before the end of July just to be safe.  There's simply NO 
WAY this gorgeous arilbred should have made it through last winter!  Not 
that I'm complaining.  :-)
