Re: SIB: Bloom has begun and I am impressed...
From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>
I guess we're enjoying zone 5 bloom right now. INDY bloomed on the weekend.
I agree, Linda, it's a fabulous plant. We saw PLEASURES OF MAY at Dearborn
and ordered it immediately -- but the order got lost so it's in our order
this year. I really should get OTTAWA but haven't got around to it. And we
have our first bloom on CHILLED WINE -- another beauty, red-violet with
blue. It tends to bloom short for me though. I may try moving it. Others
in bloom are MY LOVE and HELICOPTER. Lots of bloom to come -- maybe I'll be
able to find my clump of CAESAR'S BROTHER (I'm crossing my fingers that I
didn't mistakenly give it all away.)
We're in peak TB bloom now with the show scheduled for the 12th!
