| Well, I now have spring fever. In stark contrast to this time last year (worst cold in N TX since '89), this winter has been warm. The roses have been growing for several weeks and a few are starting to bloom. Some of the local nurseries are starting to put out the spring delivery of new roses. I visited Strong's yesterday and found several interesting new ones: thrive, koko loco, eyeconic pink lemonade and eyeconic lemonade. I picked out a nice eyeconic lemonade to buy and spotted a robust 'bull's eye' that had to go home with me. I look forward to growing these hulthemia hybrids- not sure how they will do, but they should like the summers here. |

| Well, if it gives you any clues, the Eyeconic series was bred in Bakersfield, California where it is HOT! Bull's Eye is a British import, but both were bred from Hulthemia, "the most noxious week in Iran!" The hotter and more arid it is, the better. Kim |
