Re: REB: Late stalks, Mother Eve

Rosalie, I'm not too surprised that they haven't been reported as
reblooming in TN before now.  Even though they aren't that new, this is
an unusually mild and long lasting fall.  We usually have killing
freezes by mid October, still none this year.

Probably explains why there aren't any registered babies from MOTHER EVE
SMILES.  She's probably not <good> enough to appeal to hybridizers with
less erratic spring/fall weather, and doesn't bloom for the rest of us.
I'm going to try to save some pollen for spring.

Mike, have you guys used MES?  Everbloomers from her would probably do
well in our mid-continental climate.
