I have to say that GNU RAYS (IB) is also a vigorous standout in
my garden. Every one of the Kaspareks' is doing well. Based on
last year, I have ordered more from Kathy and Brad this year.
Geez, I wish I would see a bud on something soon...but I looked
in my bloom book and saw for May 2002:
The entry for 5/14/02 - "..snow on gardens still - very cold
last night, 34 F. There 'was' good growth on irises but it
stopped wih the cold weather. Plenty of rain - daffs are slow.
Some in bud and tulips are half-bloomed and hyacinths are
gorgeous!"
So we are right on time for us. Last year was an early bloom
year for us. <g>
