Maureen,
Next time you see Chuck, tell him I have his Ruby Eruption *reblooming*
right now, today, 5/25/99, 6 weeks after its first blooms of the year. And
just as stunning as it was, first time around.
Also, if you talk to him, tell him I haven't forgotten him (I owe him plants
from *last year*, for Pete's sake, in a trade, which got postponed by the
heatwave from hell here last summer!). I'll be contacting him after I get
the daylily convention booklet completed and to the printers.
