Barb and others, do you ever have an SDB bloom at its registered
height? In TX and in MS they rarely top the foliage, maybe 8" is the max.
The only one that grew up out of the foliage was PATACAKE, but I really
think PATACAKE is an IB because of its height of bloom and lateness in
the SDB season, although, as I remember, it is registered as SDB.

Enid Lake, MS 70o predicted again today but clouds are rolling
in. The rain in TX today will be here tonight and tomorrow!
