Re: Re: TB: Cloud Berry, Louisa's Song

I did a more careful check of conditions after reading more of the responses
on this thread.

Bloom will be scarce but not entirely missing--I found several SDB's with
stalks just about to emerge from the fans, and a number of TB's beginning to
be more obviously "pregnant" with bloomstalks still hidden but present.

Griff--even though our winter minima (the basis for the USDA zones, I believe)
are just barely into "zone 7" that is a recent rezoning.  We were in the
warmer side of zone 6 in the older maps.  Our elevation here is about 2300
feet, and our season on bloom ordinarily runs about a week behind river level
seasons in the Asheville/Hendersonville areas, even though our winter temps
are about the same.

From Donna Lockman's description of their season we are at least ten days
behind Charlotte at this point.
