Good morning talkers,
Regarding TB's blooming with arilbreds, we have some very early varieties
mostly plics blooming with the arilbreds.
As you (STEVE) are 2-3 weeks earlier in your peak bloom you are welcome to
come up and put some TB pollen on our arilbreds. They may not be to your
liking . You have peaked our interest and we may do some of this
ourselves!(Steve lives 30 minutes away)
