Mine usually makes two flowers, and the first year they pollinated each other, that's how I got the babies to give you, and Evan. Keep an eye on it, I suspect there's a narrow window for pollination to happen.
I've seen everything along that side of the house that gets irrigated with the well water sort of limps along until it starts to rain more in the summer. Have you tested the pH of your well water? (you can do it with a pool test kit, or an aquarium kit) Mine's as high as 8.2 which is really alkaline! Yours might be lower, since you're "upstream" of me by 100 miles or so - the water hasn't flowed through the aquifer for quite as long or as far? (just speculating here)
Hey, do you feed your horses alfalfa pellets? I'm finding it's the absolute best soil amendment - but then, I guess you have ample horse manure to amend with anyway. But the pellets are great for potted plants, where you might not want to use manure.
