We are on the borderline between zones 7 and 8, have much colder
weather and for longer periods of time, yet the SDB's on the first bloom
is
down in the fan. But, for those who have a 'second wave,' the bloomstalks
are up and out of the fan. I wish I knew why because I would really
like
to grow more of those seen at the convention, especially those with the
'second wave,' if I knew which ones they were.
