Now that the season seems more timely, We await rain for the explosion of stalks. Looks like only L. longituba - the true species is approaching normal bloom so far. We expect a lot more eventually. We need rain. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd. Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
