Rick -- I've been having trouble with my server, so talked to Ginny
Spoon tonight by phone. She says BLACK AS NIGHT had a normal stalk and
normal flower. The clump was well separated from any others. In their
price list, they noted that, although it had rebloomed as reported, it
is not otherwise listed as a rebloomer. Don thinks the cool nights (and
generally cool days) in the foothills affect various cultivars.

Please let me know if this message was received.
