[SpaceAgeRobin] Re: HYB:SA appendages


Juri,

Hmmmmm.... interesting but I don't know what to make of this.  One 
would assume that the better growing plants would produce the 
appendages and the frozen one would not.  The really blows my theory 
of freeze thaw cycles effecting appendage develpoment in to space.  
Perhaps it's the concentration of SA genes in ANNOUNCEMENT that 
allowed it to express these flounces.  I'd be curious to know the 
parentage.  This might be an indication that ANNOUNCEMENT may be a 
good breeder for SA expression in colder climates but perhaps it's 
genetically unstable and will never bloom properly for you like a few 
SA's I have here like LURID and DIETY.  Please let us know how 
ANNOUNCEMENT does this Spring.

DAUBER'S DELIGHT bloomed with marvelous spoons here after a Russian 
like winter here in Canada but the plant was not very hardy and 
died.  I'm thinking of trying BLUE FIN instead since it does well for 
Chuck Chapman.
