Re: Re: Spring Bloom ahead of schedule

Kathy and all,

Yes, you are correct Kathy.

It was just made clear to me this morning when talking with someone elsewhere
in the country that I have TB, IB, BB, SDB, AB, and SPU in bloom right now,
and a bud on an LA, although LA's have been blooming for others here since
last week.

This is strange in the fact that SDB's, IB's, BB's, and AB's are typically
supposed to bloom before the TB's and LA's, and the SPU's are typically
supposed to bloom after the TB's.

But in years past, I remember the SPU I have blooming, called PEE WEE PETE
(Shepard '98) in full bloom at the time the TB's are in peak.  However, my
TB's are not at peak yet.  I will be having BETTY COOPER Spu and LAVENDER
PARADE Spu blooming next week.

  Arizona experienced the warmest March on record this year.  Some things are
  blooming a week or two ahead of schedule, but many seem to be waiting.  I
had
  my very first LA (STRANGE ROMANCE) bloom open this morning and the Spuria
ELFIN
  SUNSHINE opened two days ago.  Lots of early stalks on the LAs.  The VE TB's
  and ABs are in bloom.  It seems that many of the TBs must be more sensitive
to
  hours of daylight than temperature, because the majority don't seem to be in
  a hurry.
