Have LOADS of unopened daffodil buds on some of MY early ones!  Not  found a 
crocus bloom yet though.  
 
 
Still moving some of the reblooming SDB's to a better place.  Better  for me 
anyway.  
 
Form: In 2005 I used BLUE JAY WAY as pod parent because it had wide falls  
and potential to carry rebloom.  It is 1/2 Kathleen Kay Nelson.  KKN  didn't 
grow well for me.  Lost it early, Ben replaced it and I lost it  again.  All the 
first year and at Alvaton.  Crossed CLARENCE onto  BJW.  Planted 8 seedlings 
and the first one . . . looks awesome.  As  I've stated I plant the strongest 
seedlings first.  Probably the best  looking seedling (for now) from the 2005 
crop.  (growth and vigor) I'll let  everyone know how it does on form!  If it's 
good!  <vbg>  
 
BLUE JAY WAY (Larry Lauer, R. 1998), Sdlg. 91-206-1. TB, 36" (91 cm),  EM 
"Ruffled blue, F. with white area around beard; beards white, yellow in  
throat; slight sweet fragrance. Speed Limit X Kathleen Kay Nelson. Stockton 1998  
"  
Seeing a bit of iris growth.  Several seedling clumps have multiple  sprouts 
suddenly shooting up.  Seeing growth on Canadian thistle!   Whoopee!
