Rats - just uploaded 3 photos only to hit some random key which took me somewhere else on the Internet and lost it all. The light was really harsh anyway, so I think I'll wait on posting. My comment was that so far my Shastas have not yet flopped either, although they tend to do so when I least expect it. I am trying to be diligent about cutting them off at the base when they threaten to encroach on other plants, hoping to keep them better behaved. It appears to be a 'yellow' year for me - all my new plantings are in the yellow/gold range. Funny how that works out.
