Re: SIB: Bloom has begun and I am impressed...

Hi Linda,
Sounds like you are having a great time and certainly have the right
attitude to go with all those lovely blooms on the siberians. I'll have
to wait a few days to see any flowers on the siberians, but in the
meantime I am enjoying many other blooming plants in  the garden.  I
think I'll pull up a chair as well and maybe add a glass of wine as
too.                                Jim Sullivan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
