Not all SDBs do well in Las Cruces, NM, but many do. MDBs generally
don't do well. The few MDBs that I have that thrive are under deciduous
bushes. Dot Com, Little Blue Eyes, Sugar Maple, Cat's Eye thrive in full
sun. African Wine is a neat little MDB that does well under the Crape
Mrytle.

Sometimes I think the SDBs hybridizers send me are really MDBs in
disguise.

'Haunting' is a TB, Chuck, so maybe we'll have to send
some SDBs to the southwest and see how they do. From what I've heard,
though, they'll fry. -- Griff

Thanks for the
follow up.
It is an acomplishment to get SDB to do well in the hot
climates. Spring and fall bloom on same plant would be really something
special.

Chuck -- Elouise says she got the plant in
late September, 2009 and that none of the plants she got at that time bloomed
in the spring. Attached is her latest photo. --

How long has she had this plant?
Did it bloom in spring for
her?
Has it rebloomed for her before?

Haunting reblooming in New Mexico
Elouise Young kindly sent me this top-down photo of
'Haunting' blooming in her garden in Las Cruces, NM today. Here in
Northern Virginia it blooms at Halloween. Anyone recall its rebloom time
elsewhere?
