Here CANTINA certainly doesn't rebloom and not much else either. It
sure looks like it is going to have a great bloom season in '98 as
well as in '97. I should take TOTAL RECALL off my previous list..
it looks ok but had some top leaf rot and I had to cut one fan
down to the rhizome and did the Comet thing. All the others are
healthy and vigorous.
The only SDB that had needed some 'repair' was - don't gasp -
LITTLE SHOWOFF. Surprised me too...just a little top fan rot and
the Comet trick. Looks ok now. :)
