I am not Chuck Chapman but I have every class blooming excepting
MDB and Japanese. (I do not grow any spuria but intend to.. and
the same with the wonderful Arilbreds that we saw at Chuck
Chapman's place last week. They were spectacular. I am still in
awe and if he can grow them in a climate roughly like mine, I am
game.
LAP CAT (SDB), Lowell Baumunk's recent intro. just opened
yesterday, June 19th, and we have lots of other medians along
with TBs blooming (along with lots of weeds from the incessant
rain). I made a few crosses but the majority of TBs are not open
yet. I even tried to cross some IBs to MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
(Lowell's great IB...). It can't hurt to try even tho' I know it
is very long shot and have never gotten a pod on any IB.
