I hardly ever display anything that has had a flower to fold.
I hold the bloom back in the refrigerator for as much as ten days.
When I won QOS on BOOGIE WOOGIE, it had been in the
refrigerator probably ten days. This was the only time BW did
anything for me, another one some thought Dykes worthy. As a
QOS, BW was grown in my garden about 125 miles away from my
current garden. It is an IB here. Also, at the Texas convention, it
didn't seem to be shouting at anybody and it was short with small
flowers.
On this Dykes thread, it appears another Space Ager,
MESMERIZER, could be the next Dykes. This would be three for
Monty. The best has been saved for last!
CONJURATION is horribly out of proportion here, and as it
performs in my garden, it is not of Dykes quality because of its
gangly nature and inability to have consistent horns. The small
flowers appear on towering stalks. I have put it in some poor soil to
see if it can shorten itself and look more in proportion.
