Re: CULT:Cold in the Confederacy


	I just came inside after a quick survey of the garden after three
nights with temperatures in the lower twenties.  It appears the Louisianas
have been damaged the most, particularly the tets.  They have that nasty
white leaf in the middle of the fan which tells me that bloom will be lost
for another year on them - three years in a row now because of late,
disastrous freezes.  That's too long to wait for bloom and they probably
will be chunked this summer.

	Some bearded look freezer burned, especially early bloomers like
LADY FRIEND and Blyth varieties.

	JI's show no ill effects.

	A versicolor or two show the white 'Louisiana leaf' in the center
of the fan.

	Sibtosas look ok along with the spurias.  Sibs are not up enough
to show any effects of the cold.

	I pulled back the blankets on the seed bed, and the little inch
tall babies look all cuddly and warm under Caj's old blankies.

	Daylilies seem cooked medium rare.


	Oh, for the return of those thrilling days of yesteryear when we
went for ten years or more in a row without even a threat of a late
freeze.
