RE: CULT: first TB bloom

	CLARENCE opened a beautiful flower up this morning and was
	followed by I. pallida variegata (Aurea) about noon.

	We still have 3 IBs and 5 SDBs blooming and still only 2 Siberians
	but loads on the way. INDY is out of this world and SNOW PRINCE
	is very tall. The registered height is 34" but one of my bloom-
	stalks is 42". The shortest bloomstalk is 37" on S.P. INDY is
	registered at 32" and my tallest bloomstalk is 39" with the
	average being about 36".

	I don't know what CLARENCE is registered at but mine is 37"
	and I. pallida is 24".

	Best fragrance so far is a toss-up between two IBs - HOT FUDGE
	and CANDY FLOSS (which smells like a rose to me). H.F. smells
	delicious but can't describe the smell...hmmmm, maybe fudge.:)

	DITTO (MDB) opened up its last bloom with 2 falls but 3 standards
	so I guess this is not uncommon?

	Cheers,
