Thanks for the nice comments on Bengal Tiger. As many of you know it
was my first introduction in about 1979 or 1980. We discarded it about
10 years ago, but based on the sales of LOS COYOTES this year, I think
it's time I "reintroduce" it in my garden! (Cooley's still carry it I
believe). The intent of the cross was to make a rebloomer. It is
Summer Sunshine X White Lightning, both of which rebloomed rather well
here. Bengal Tiger never rebloomed for me, but many reports of rebloom
were reported from around the country.
