Maureen,
About half the terminal buds on BLUE POOLS, which began blooming here this
week, have been opening with four parts throughout (standards, style arms,
and falls). This is not too unusual with this cultivar, but seems to be
affecting a higher proportion of the blooms this year. Also, the blue spot
on the falls is much paler and less distinct than normal (another local
grower has made the same observation). We had a mild winter, but have been
having a chilly, wet spring so far.
