<<It was a miserable day on Sunday but a number of brave souls did come to our
garden open house.  Everyone raved over Banish Misfortune.  It has been 
blooming
for a week now with 6 stalks on a first year clump!  And I look forward to a 
nice
bloom season with it.  One stalk actually has 7 buds!

So many people do not realize that siberians come in a range of colours.  Indy
and Chilled Wine both got rave reviews as they aren't blue.  Unfortunately 
Trim
the Velvet didn't bloom until Monday -- that would have elicited a few oohs 
and
aahs.

I'm also looking forward to buds opening on Summer Revels.  Peak siberian 
bloom
should happen about this weekend.  As it remains cool and damp, they are 
loving
it.

Also in bloom are Helicopter, Sapphire Royale, Red Royale, Super Ego and Peg
Edwards.  Over in Gloryland must have heard our threats.  After three years, 
it
has finally put out bloom stalks -- only a few though on a huge clump.

I'm surprised that people rave over Chilled Wine- even Ben Hager has a much 
superior wine ' Cabernet' and certainly Temper Tantrum is superior.  I guess 
my tastes are different than other siberian lovers.  
I just have a few siberians in bloom- Esther C.D.M., about the last, Glow of 
Happiness, Slightly Envious, Butter & Sugar, Purple Sand finished a couple 
days ago. Spurias are now blooming.  My garden here is what I'm speaking 
of-yesterday I was at former home and Mesa Pearl, and some of my seedlings + 
above mentioned were in bloom. Location does delay bloom. Anna Mae Miller,
