Thanks Mike. And a lurking KK tells me that is the intention. So an E
should be finished blooming by the time the M's start, an EM would start
with the E's and still be in bloom thru the M's, etc. Regardless of
whether it makes more stalks or more blooms on one stalk or the same
blooms staying open for a very long time.
rats. All this time I've been ordering MLs assuming that meant they
bloomed later (at least in the hybridizer's garden) than Ms (& thus
might be safer here from the late freezes) & all it means is that they
are still in bloom after the Ms finish. Live and learn....
So an everbloomer would be a VEEMLVLRE...pronunciation "veemliver"? or
should it be VEEMLVLREB - veemlivelrib....
