Welcome, Charles. It has been a stellar year for rebloom here in the
normally cold Northeast. Normally, IMMORTALITY and QUEEN DOROTHY are
reliable. This year, all kinds of things have rebloomed--including
MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM (IB, Baumunk) LO HO SILVER (IB) and TBs TOTAL
RECALL, JENNIFER REBECCA (incredibly beautiful, by the way--nice going,
Lloyd!) and even (gasp!) BEST BET, as well as IMMORTALITY and QUEEN DOROTHY.
I am sure all this rebloom is due to the very mild winter, and very early
spring we had. It has, essentially, extended our season by probably 3
weeks, and that's about how much ahead everything is. I will enjoy it this
year, because I am sure it won't happen on a regular basis!
