Re: Re: CULT: end of bloom season

Linda  --  Just a report from a little further north of you:  Three
subfreezing nights in a row about a week ago finally put an end to RENOWN'S
more than a month of bloom.  I may have reported that ISTANBUL has bloomed
since then.  Also, CLARENCE and VIOLET MUSIC and ISTANBUL have all put up
new bloomstalks.   I'm waiting to see if a seedling which first bloomed for
me last December reblooms this year.  Strangely, it was quite pretty in its
winter bloom, but when it bloomed again in spring was no great shakes.
Maybe things look more fetching in the winter?  --  Griff
