Bard, 
        Definitely not deer .. I am an urban grower, and have no real
local
varmints.. Except for my 5 year old daughter, and her 8 friends coming
over for her birthday party today.. lol  
        My problem is in the plant developement, and I am confused about
it. I
have the first ten feet ofmy main buried, and the flowers are coming up
from under the dirt really soiled.. After they are up about 6 inches, I
noticed they are not developing like the Andersen 815 males.. I have had
dozens of males onthat plant already, but the Holland 897 has had lots
start. but none actually fully mature...
