TB season in S Africa

From: "MISS SG GUYE" <zosg@warthog.ru.ac.za>

Dear Isarians
First apologies,  have tried to e-mail some of you privately in 
response to your kind messages but with me at the wheel its a 
hit/miss situation.

Having had several mini springs throughout the year,  the TBs finally 
started to flower this month and they have been brilliant and so have 
the roses.  Defintely the best season ever.  Queen of the garden has 
been Mary Frances.  Beautiful big blooms,  delicate scent, masses of 
buds,  looks great in the garden and equally good indoors and has 
gone on and on.  Reading KathyGuests injunction, (thank you Kathy)  I 
menaced Silverado with the trowel with instant success,  the very 
next day there was a promising bulge and she too has been quite 
prolific.  The spin off from the menace was that Honky Tonk Blues who 
had made no increase during the year with only one or two very large 
leaves,  suddenly shot up a bloom stalk.  Wonderful flowers - one 
could imagine an exquisite chiffon evening dress.   I was a tad 
miffed (read ABSOLUTELY LIVID)  when what should have been Babbling 
Brook turned out be Edenite but now I love that too.  Bonuses were 
Unicorn that I thought had attrited suddenly reappeared,  Persian 
Berry which had had to be moved when the spaniel did serious 
excavating,  gave three beautiful flowers in the original bed  
Dr Zurbrigg's lovely Sugar Blues is flowering and so on and so forth. 
It would be great if Quaker Lady and Immortality produced this year 
but I can wait.

All the best from SA
