I'm not sure what you meant by "on the search for a yellow, he got Butter &
Sugar on his first round", but Butter & Sugar was hybridized by Dr. Currier
McEwen and introduced in 1977. Perhaps it was a different cultivar he was
referring to?

Its a glorious day today, the IBs are in full bloom, but still have a few SDBs
and even MDBs blooming, as well as a few early TBs, and several siberians have
buds showing.
