TB,REB:blooming now...


EGGNOG (a Byers rebloomer with very nice form and substance, but an 
appropriately named dull yellow color) is looking the best it ever has for 
me with 3 Big Strong rebloom stalks up right now.  MULLED WINE also has a 
great rebloom stalk, and MABEL ANDREWS (which inexplicably missed the 
spring bloom) is about to open its second stalk, almost blooming out.  It 
has older form but has been a dependable rebloomer for me, with variable 
color ranging from diamond-dusted pink to peach overlaid with old rose.  Of 
course, PLUM WINE is still at it.

May have lost a seed pod on a Honky Tonk Blues cross.  The stalk 
inexplicably rotted through in the middle overnight (no sign of slugs). 
 The pod is still pretty green, but with some infection already present I 
figure I'll risk drying it out on a patio chair over sticking it in water.
