Glitter Repink rebloomed very early for me (early August), but after that I had a pretty long dry spell. Immortality has been blooming for about a month, but nothing else--not that surprising since everything was new or moved either last year or this. About two weeks ago, though, I was surprised to see a stalk on Daughter of Stars, which didn't bloom this spring. It's very nice, with a good scent to boot. I also noticed that Masterwork (which also didn't bloom in the spring) was sending up a couple of stalks, so I was going to wait until it bloomed to post pictures, but the weather has turned cold and it has stalled out on the very verge of opening. I'll probably cut it and bring it into the warmth to open it up. Unlike the fall bloomstalks on Immortality and Daughter of Stars, which are a bit short and quite curved, Masterworks is tall and straight, with a couple of branches and seven or eight buds--looks like a show stalk.

It is still early, but both Merlot and Finsterwald look wrong. Must wait until it blooms to make sure. Hope I am wrong.

Everything here froze out Tuesday night, I think. It got down to 25 degrees. It was supposed to be even colder last night, but the weatherman got it wrong (Imagine that !)It was a "balmy" 31degrees when I got up! I cut a few stalks to bring in and finish, but only a fraction of what was there...Arlyn

Actually I think our autumn weather here has had warmer temperature than usual. Not necessarily frost.
