Re: REB: Rebloom Report

	Rebloom this year has really been sparse in this area, and 
those that have rebloomed have got to be classified as 'sure fire' 
rebloomers given the adverse conditions.  The heat wave was 
unprecedented with two days hitting 111o.  Most areas here and 
nearby are reporting twelve to twenty inches behind in rainfall for 
2000.  Add last year's drought to that figure, and some areas are 
forty to fifty inches short of normal. Our average annual rainfall is 
between fifty-five and sixty inches.  I cannot remember the last 
'average' year, maybe '96 or '97.

	TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS was the first to attempt rebloom 
in September.  The stalks were runted and the flowers were 
deformed.

	After a cool spell, normal flowers began to appear, but most 
stalks are shorter than normal.

	The list includes:

	HEMSTITCHED
	BOUNTIFUL HARVEST
	EARL OF ESSEX
	WINESAP
	ORANGE HARVEST
      FEED BACK

	There are buds coming in others, and if the eighty degree 
weather we have been having continues, there may be more 
rebloom to report later.
