I am in zone 4, bloom stalkson lots of TBs and the psedacorus, one or
two on SIB CHILLED WINE, none at all on 4 huge clumps of Ceasar's
Brother planted 7 years ago and none at all on 5 clumps of CB divided
and replanted near the pond four years ago.  Something is wrong with
this picture.  maybe I should put some IN the pond near the pseuds.
