Re: bloom update & OT


	Tectorum and graminea in full bloom, anguifuga starting. Aril and  
aril-bred almost done. Cristata bloomed while temps were high and  
lasted just a few days. Lactea winding down but still a lot of  
flowers. Bearded hybrids starting. Siberian typhafolia done but  
hybrids with it starting now.  Pseudacorus in bud. A couple verna  
looking happy (fingers crossed). Spuria hybrids in bud also.

	Now for the OT;

	However the currant star performers are peonies, they truly steal  
the show. True RED, pink, salmon, white, yellow, peach, purple, etc.  
The Robinia pseudacacias (Black Locust tree) are perfuming the entire  
county. They are very common here and blooming by the hundreds of  
thousands. I have a newish hybrid called 'Purple Robe' with large,  
dark rose colored flowers. Everyone  that sees it is amazed! Baptisia  
in yellow, white and blue, wow! Bamboos shooting like mad! Too much  
more to mention.

	Nearing 'High Spring'.
