Glad to hear Byers' things do so well in other climate areas. Out here in
California, his stuff reblooms a lot. Stingray has been blooming like crazy
lately; all tall stalks with incredible branching. Rock Star (shorter)
bloomed all last winter. Eggnog keeps popping off randomly, and
Reincarnation (a favorite hybridizing tool of mine) has 2 or 3 stalks right
now.
