Strange, but encouraging.

Wee baby seedlings continue to come up, but only from some crosses.
ooks like the others either were bad or need warmer temperatures.  It's
een near refrigerator temps round the clock most of the time since I
oved them out there in Dec, so they've had <plenty> of chilling for
irst year germination, even if 2+ months in the fridge wasn't enough.
Fairly good germination on a couple of different crosses involving IMM,
SONG, HoM, & TREASURED, reverse cousins.  The HoM seedling involved
oesn't have HoM's tendency for corkscrew stalks (so far, 3rd year bloom
010).  It doesn't rebloom.  Neither of the two different IMM X CSONG
ids reblooms.  But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for at least one good
eedling from each cross to work with, cross back to IMM or HoM.
Very strange to see seedlings with all that snow.
