The plants are doing fine, they were hit with a late freeze and for some reason those plants seem to be more damaged by the cold than any of the rest (let me rephrase that) they are taking longer to recover than the rest of my plants. The leaves on many of my plants were damaged, but they have mostly recovered from the freeze. The plants I received from California have very pale green leaves and a lot of yellow and brown leaves still from the cold damage. Of course 'Cherry Ice Cream Smile 'has a lot of yellow leaves due to the rust and the cold. I looked at the plants very closely today and three of the four I ordered have nice scapes on them. Only 'Cherry Ice Cream Smile' and the bonus plant have yet to put out scapes. It seems the old leaves on 'Cherry Ice Cream Smile' are still showing rust, and the new ones are coming in with no rust. Of course I think that is the normal patter, so it does not indicate the treatment is working. I did find rust on 'Endowed' With Beauty this morning so I treated it also, so far I have had a lot less plants showing rust than I did last year.
I went back and looked at the photos taken when I received the plants and Cherry Ice Cream Smile was the one with the roots broken off. Weather or not that had anything to do with it being the worst looking of the bunch and the one to first show rust I can't say.
Here are some photos I took this morning of the four plants I ordered from Rainbow Acres.
