Lets keep our fingers crossed on this one.


 <<IMM X RED ROCK CANYON seedlings has a stalk forming
own in the foliage.>>

I'm anxious to see how RRC grows in the new bed.  Turning out to be another
rebloom bed.

Another crazy year.  I'm already six days past the average hard frost date
with not a frost in sight.  Lots of rebloom on seedlings here, even though
we've had no rain in forever.  Have watered some.

Betty, very exciting, if it can survive the frosts long enough to bloom,
ne of this year's IMM X RED ROCK CANYON seedlings has a stalk forming
own in the foliage.
And, also exciting, the IMM X KIWI CHEESECAKE seedling that put up a
talk in August that fried in the heat has another nice healthy stalk
p, so <maybe> we'll get to see what it looks like too.
<Much> less exciting, single small fan has opened maiden bloom on a
eedling from (IMM X (GOLDEN APPLE x CRYSTAL GLITTERS).  IB height, TB
loom, at least the width is good.

 'Red Rock Canyon' shows exceptional plant growth and vigor, represented by
 good increase, but more importantly by root growth.  This was in a three
 gallon pot and is growing very well compared to some others sitting beside
it.
 I've not seen it bloom.  It has some interesting relatives.

 Mike (Sutton) have you used RRC in breeding?  If so what are you getting?

 Linda, all of my mail to you is bouncing right now.  Filter has tightened.
