You too? Pollen is sure scarce here! Later blooms on a stalk seem
to fare better. The first bloom of HAPPENSTANCE was pollen-bare, the
next had good anthers. No pollen on WISHFUL THINKING (but this may
be normal), however a frozen stalk of FOGBOUND that produced one and
only one magnificent bloom DID have pollen, and is it ever getting
used!
What a year. Upside down bloom sequences, blows hot, cold, humid,
dry, rains on you, dries up as it comes our way----over and over.
Despite it all, the garden looks glorious and I'm having the time of
my life.
