Re: CULT: weather (was wide crosses)

Same here, Betty.  Every year is a different climate, for sure.

It did frost enough the other morning to affect a few blooms, but most
seem to have been unaffected.  A ton of stuff on the verge of bloom -
some IBs still at peak, DUSKY CHALLENGER (usually one of the last to
bloom) showing color.  Very bizarre.

Taking a break to review pedigrees and pretend I am <NOT> coming down
with a cold (!!)

<My season started great with the warm weather . . . stalks
everywhere.  Then
                   it got too dry and some buds started drying up!
Then it got cold and slowed
                   everything way down!  Now the frost!   Many, if not
most, stalks are
                   distorted.  But, there are some  good stalks in the
seedling beds!  Many blooms look a
                   lot different from  last year.  >
