HYB: TB: lateral stalks

For those of you who haven't noticed it before, "normal" TB's produce one bloomstalk per mother rhizome. But some also produce more stalks on side shoots that are usually a little later to develop. These often escape late freezes even if the main "terminal" fan is damaged.
These cultivars (new here this year) have lost their terminal stalks (stunted, dead due to our variable winter weather) but have lateral healthy stalks developing on a single rhizome planted last fall: 

SUNSET SILHOUTTE - 2 lateral stalks
PAUL BLACK - 2 lateral
CONSTANTINE - 2 lateral
MODERN WOMAN - 1 lateral
TRILLION - 2 lateral
AMITY ESTATE - 3 lateral
SPIRIT IN THE SKY - 3 lateral
In addition, TRUMPET CALL did <not> lose it's terminal stalk, but also produced 1 lateral
