TB: Hot weather and stalks are here


About 40% of my clumps have stalks showing, and maybe all of the louisianas.
The weather got hot yesterday, and went into the mid-90's today.  The wind
blew over about 15 open stalks of Epicenter, but there are more on the way.

Valentine's Day is still a wall of pink; an overhead photo probably wouln't
show any green under it.

A couple of new seedlings have stalks up, that will be fun to see.  Shenanigan
x Epicenter may be the cuter of the two.

The hot weather has forced color to show on one Louisa's Song stalk, although
it isn't up to 36" yet.  It may still get there, but I suspect it would grow
taller if the weather got cooler.

Lots of good stuff with stalks: Wearing Rubies, Skipalong, Double Dribble,
Ethereal Voices, and Double Click are some of the others.  Looks like an
extended bloom season this year with the first wave (except for Valentine's
Day) peaking in about 2 weeks if the weather lets up.
