Mike,
In an earlier post to Walter I mentioned Total Recall blooming now.
Bonus Mama has buds and will bloom soon. Mother Earth has been a
reluctant rebloomer for me. In some years I have many
blooming/reblooming early (Jan-Mar). This year we had two days in the
low 20's in early January and this stopped many cold. They did not
recover until early March.
I'll check my records and get back to you on early bloomers.
