Itâs been blooming here for at least a week, Betty.  There are 11 stalks.  âAgain and Againâ and Lunar Whitewash have stalks up, but not yet showing color.   Weâve had heavy frosts, but no freeze yet.  Watching the forecast for the next couple of days very closely.  Of eighteen siblings from a cross of âAgain and Againâ X Autumn Nectar (R. 2010) planted in 2009, three have bloomed this fall and four have stalks up, only one of which is showing color.  So, I may be able to cut it and see the bloom, but Iâm afraid a freeze will get the rest.  --  Griff
