Actually, I could use some help. I need a bunch of bloomouts to work with. I
have a couple this year, but could use a bunch more to try a few different
methodologies. The results won't be much better than a lot of the anecdotal
things we hear, but it might point the way for further research.
So, if you have a bloomout or two, and are so inclined, pop them into a box
and send them to me at:

If they recover, I will send you pieces back as soon as they get to
transportable size.
Please let me know ahead of time by *private* email at: jijones@ix.netcom.com
We can call this the "Slice and Dice Rhizome Help and Information, Zealously
Opportuned, Multistaged Enterprise", or
SAD RHIZOME for short...
(sorry. I know it is terrible, but I just couldn't help it - I am sure someone
else can come up with a better moniker)
