> I fully expect to see flowering stems >coming up today or tomorrow. I'll report back then. Dear Friends, I wrote too soon. A quick survey came up with hundreds of bloom stalks emerging from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. Mostly all squamigera, but a couple others. Weeks of drought followed by an inch of rain and within 48 hours flowers stalks emerging. Coincidence? More later. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
