I have 18 SDB blooming now 15 are above the fans. 3 are in the fans. 25 or
so seedlings SDB, most are blooming above the fans. Could it be weather?
Some only have 1 or 2 stile arms and 3 stamens. Some 4 falls which I have
seen before.
I have a seedling that is a cross between two TB's blooming. About 14" to
15" SDB size bloom. Only one IB blooming here so far. Would it's class be a
SDB.
Doesn't really matter it only has one bloom per stalk. Just wondering.
