Yes.  Wasn't it the fall of 2001 that several of us reported 2nd year pots 
with sprouting seed? I recall that those made it through the winter for me. 
Definitely NOT fresh seed, but a relatively rare occurance.  I don't remember if 
we had a really mild winter that year, or what other factors might be 
responsible.

I have four seedlings with stalks.  1510-1Re has bloomed in July both 2002 & 
2003.  I know that some of you are wondering why I would be excited over this? 
July bloom in my area is VERY rare. (I'm not even sure I approve!) And all of 
these are showing typical spring characteristics. They all have two things in 
common.  INNOCENT STAR is the pod parent and each is 1/4 EARL OF ESSEX.  I 
just thought someone out there might be interested.
