Betty: The boxes are arriving.
Your season has finally arrived. It's a heady feeling.You are months ahead of us in the northland. Enjoy.
Becky: To answer your question, which is one that I have wondered about as to the comparison of the diploid bloom vs.the tetra converted bloom for Carpenter's 'Cosmic Kaleidoscope', I am afraid I can't answer it, as I don't have the diploid version. CK was converted I believe in 2012. I had to pay a lot more for the Tet version. But I felt I needed it in my hybridizing program. It will be fun working with it. Patrick Guidry has shown some pictures of the Tetra Conversion of "Cosmic Kaleidoscope' which I have copied here from the Internet for you.
