Donald and Linda,

Rebloom has been non-existent here this year until I noticed a stalk this
weekend on HAND PAINTED (Byers, 1990) that was about to open. The edges of
the petals have been crisped by frost, but the weather has turned milder
and the flowers may have a chance to open. If the next cold snap arrives
before they do, I will cut the stalk and bring it inside, but that will
mean that I will have had no successful rebloom at all in 2001.
