Re: CULT: death of Oyez

Janet, the two arilbreds you mentioned are very difficult to keep going in a
humid, moist climate like ours.

I did have success by digging them in May or June after they bloomed when the
foliage started to wither.  I stored the rhizomes in brown paper lunch sacks
in the garage.  Then after it cooled down in Sept. I would plant them again. 
They would start growing like mad.  A lot of half and three-quarter breds must
be treated like this for success in damp climates.

speck of leaf spot yet.  Maybe the terraclor has helped).
