I'm wondering what could be lacking with that one ? I'm glad that enough merit is seen in it to use in their breeding program. It's really lovely.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

, I thought I had already added my two-cents on how lovely it was before. Better late than never.

Rob, I heard Homer Simpson's voice as I read that!

Yes, Sand Dancer sure caught my eye too! I asked Rick if he thought it would grow in NE Iowa. Probably not. 1/4 Arils maybe. They like it hot and dry in the summer, and even too much humidity is bad for them. Waaah!

Temporal Anomaly is really growing on me.

Dry summer dormant weather sounds like something that might survive in a pot in the house? But i should just forget about these, I have enough of a challenge growing regular TBs!

crowrita1 said:You will never know till you try, Tom !! So far, all my AB's have survived (wish I could say that about the TB's )the Illinois winter, and are showing signs of good growth. I have heard that it's not the cold winter, so much as lack of a "dry" summer dormant period, that gives trouble I don't know....but, I'm fixing to find out!
