Today, an excellent Fall day for scaling and drying so I scaled 2 each of Anaconda and Moonlite. I removed about 2/3rds of the scales from each. Some interesting findings along the way, too. Here are some pictures. In preview I noticed the second picture below loaded up/down-vertically for some reason. The row should be horizontal so the bulb on the top is actually the one on the left in the second picture.

Bulb on the left had a big surprise; an offset completely hidden between the second and third layer of scales. See photos below. This IS NOT the bulb I showed yesterday with the offset protruding between the outer layer of scales. That bulb is, in fact, the control bulb in the center of the picture. I scaled short around the offset as I want to keep it attached to the core base and plant it that way.

Also, all of these scales have now been asked for.
