Lloyd -- What has happened to BAROQUE PRELUDE and CARMEL SUNDAE in the
interim? Do you still have them? Or have you (shudder) ditched them in
favor of more hybridizing space? I don't remember seeing them when we
visited your garden last year during the Region 4 meeting. Glad to hear
you're coming to the Region 4 meeting in Towson. I'll look forward to
seeing you there.
