David Brown sends us a shot of his first bloom of the season, Ruby Star:
And Marifran Hiltz offers snapshots of Bob Sobek’s Three Seasons which started blooming for her a week ago:
Above is a scape on Get Off My Tutu (Mauck, 09). Its sibling, Inez Morgan Echerd, also has one up. GOMT is listed as an early, and IME as an extra early, so I guess they aren’t flukes. I just acquired both last year and have used pollen from GOMT in a few spidery double crosses. Looking forward to using both for breeding this season–guess I better check my freezer for pollen because I won’t have much else blooming. 😉
