Re: CULT: Rebloom -- Wearing Rubies

I do think that there has been at least one report that 
Wearing Rubies rebloomed in California.  I do know that it 
does rebloom in Australia.  Barry told me that it had a 
habit of wanting to rebloom just when it was time to ship.

I have had a good percentage of my imports from Tempo Two 
put up stalks so far.  With Panache and Romantic Gentleman 
will be blooming by next week, and Tuscan Villa is open 
right now.  

I do try and freeze pollen and have had some success.  This 
year I'm ready, I have pollen waiting in the fridge and 
freezer for my new imports.  It is certainly harder to get 
takes with the high humidity, but if you are really crazy 
and wait until 3:00 am, I've gotten a few takes.  Wearing 
Rubies has proven to be very fertile both ways here.  It 
has managed to grow well and did bloom this spring even 
after setting several pods last July.
