Sorry for the confusion, the ?IB is the pink unknown from Larry
Doucette.  He also sent me about 10(!) starts of RASPBERRY JAM, which I
stuck everywhere.  It doesn't like it here very much and most plants
died, but I have about 3 that are still going.  Nothing like LITTLE
SHOWOFF, which Mark Cook (who I forgot to mention!) sent me a big wad of
also.  Yep, Mark, it has grown like a weed, as advertised!  But it
doesn't repeat bloom or fall bloom here, or at least it hasn't so far. 
One clump out in the gravelly rows is like the pictures of SDBs I see in
catalogs - solid mass of bloom.  I think my erratic extremes of
temperatures dampens its exuberance a bit, but not this spring!

And before you ask, Christy Hensler, the rutabaga-rhizomed plicata TB
hasn't opened yet.  It seems a bit miffy here, & probably won't make it
thru a 'real' winter, but the others look like super sturdy characters.  

Does SEASON TICKET rebloom for anybody?  Lauer's catalog says it's a
rebloomer.

I would NEVER have ordered any of this early stuff from catalogs - too
likely to get creamed by freezes.  What fun.

Yes, it is before 6 AM on a Saturday - I am itching to get out (with my
comfy new allergy mask) and see what's open today!
