Merlot problem/issue resolved???????
I think I can chalk this up to "operator error"! Here are the pictures.
What I did was plant two "Merlot" rhizomes behind two "Presby Honors September". Except it appears that I mixed them up. The first and third plant are showing much more growth (with the third trying to bloom) while the second and fourth plants look at about the same growth position (I also have other "Merlot" rhizomes in the next roww{all from the same source} and they all look like the 2nd & 4th plants.
Therefore, I believe that this is really "Presby Honors September (which is a known re-bloomer) trying to show its stuff.
I am looking forward to a couple of weeks of less likely freezes so I think my show will continue on!
