Re: TB: First Flower of 06

Ellen -- It's a weird year. Here along the tidal Potomac in the Washington suburbs, I have bloomstalks up on more TBs than I can readily count. Among them are CLARENCE, ALLELUIA, ROBIN OF LOXLEY, ETERNAL BLISS and DAUGHTER OF STARS. DOS, a 2d-year plant here, has four stalks up and all are showing color! Meantime, the SDBs WHAT, AGAIN?, PLUM WINE and JEWEL BABY have been blooming for a week. Paul Hill's SWEETHEARTS AGAIN, a pretty little thing, opened overnight in the rain. About a dozen new SDB seedlings have opened, and two Intermediate seedlings are blooming. I believe I am going to have some TBs in bloom before all the SDBs have opened. Wild, wild, wild! -- Griff

zone 7 in Virginia, where overnight and morning rain was followed by a sunny afternoon, and now we're being lashed by a thunderstorm. Can't complain about the rain, though.

Isn't this early even for TBs in coastal South Carolina? But what do I know when we have snow on the ground here in Northern New Hampshire?
