Thank you, Colleen! Much appreciated to see bloom
again. We're busy planting because the temps have been so favorable, no rain in
October to keep us indoors, and no frost yet.

Hi
This year the dwarfs have beaten the PCIs to open.
We've had
the coldest Sept for about 20 years. Daily max were mostly
about 12oC,
suddenly it's warmed up to the low 20s and everything is
heading. I expect
bud count to be fairly low this year with the sudden
weather
change.
Not sure how much bloom I'll get this year, as everything has
been
transplanted from our old place and many sat in paper bags for
several
plants before replanting. I know I won't get any seedling bloom
this
year. Next year should be good. Not will there be all my seedling I
bought over from our old place, but I've also got 2 years worth of
seedlings in pots to plant out.
So here's a few dwarfs to kick
off.
