Re: TB: Season Ending Here

I have been very fortunate to enjoy an extended long bloom season as well.
Usually by now it is all over.  However, some strange bloom has come upon
us, and I'm not complaining at all.

The strangest is a bloom of an Arilbred called SILENT TEARS.

The second strange thing is that many midseason varieties are blooming now.
MESMERIZER, LUXOR GOLD, HONEY SCOOP, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, AUTUMN THUNDER, to
name a few. Coral Point bloomed from the beginning of March until the
beginning of April, and now it has sent up 2 more stalks that opened today.

Others in bloom are MILLENNIUM FALCON, WORLD WITHOUT END, MCKELLAR'S GROVE,
LAUGH LINES, DR. NO, CRYSTAL GAZER, AWESOME BLOSSOM, SOTO VOCE & ANACONDA
LOVE.  EBONY ANGEL will be blooming in a few days too!!!

When CAST OF CHARACTERS was blooming I fell in love.  I think it is a
marvel.
