Yabbut my mine were increasing & blooming steadily year after year until
this year they seem to have vanished. Squirrels maybe? The only other
thing I can think is that I tried pollinating all of them last year just to
see if it could be done. Maybe they all went to seed and pooped out? I
never did find any seeds by the way.

You'll be happy to hear all my LAs and even my LA seedlings made it through
the winter. Here's hoping for a nice bloom season this spring!
