Paul, thanks for your kind remarks.
SCORPIO STAR almost wasn't! I had tossed all of the stock the year
after I had sent guest plants to the '94 Portland Convention. I
thought it just wasn't good enough, but when I went to Portland and
saw it in bloom and got reports on its good rebloom there, I had to
ask for some of the stock back. I was amazed at how it had increased
and how much stock was returned. I just wish it would get in rebloom
gear earlier.
