Re: HYB: color codes

Linda,
Thanks for bringing this up.  I'm at a loss trying to describe the color of
a sdlg for registration.  I am in awe of the descriptions people come up
with.  I wonder how they do that?  Maybe you need to be an artist?
Two days near 60 F.  Anxiously waiting germination results.  Finally got to
replant heaved rhizomes.  I forgot how painful an hour of scrunching over
can be.  You gotta love spring.
