Eleven stalks would have been a wonderful sight, if they'd had a chance to bloom in the summer or earlier in the fall. O & O has bloomed early here even in a bed where water is limited and shade non existent. Did you water any during this extremely hot and dry summer?
Have you posted a picture of 'Autumn Nectar?'
We've had a freeze here but I spotted a stalk up on one of the Star Gate x Matrix seedlings. It looks viable but won't make it as we have another freeze slated for tonight.

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

H Griff,
<<Over and Overâ blooming yesterday>>
Was this the first bloom of the season or did it bloom earlier too? It started blooming early Sept here. Lots of stalks.
