Be sure to let me know this coming spring/summer as to how it blooms.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-67272717318952203482012-09-06T10:12:57.184-07:002012-09-06T10:12:57.184-07:00Thanks Christiaan for the information on the ferti...Thanks Christiaan for the information on the fertility of MIMOSA UMBRELLA. This morning I had two blooms on the HAYRIDE, and I pollenated both with pollen from TET. MIMOSA UMBRELLA. Your research really helps.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-27420111729215998982012-09-06T05:42:56.032-07:002012-09-06T05:42:56.032-07:00Blazing Cannons is really doing well.

I'm doing my best with the conversion work, and I think I'm finally on track to use converted material to considerable advantage. I have been surprised to see that many of my conversions have to do with doubles and unusual forms. <br /><br />I hope that SHIRLEY ANN MCCORD blooms well for you. Thanks for the note of encouragement.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-17387718906845271502012-09-05T13:51:57.734-07:002012-09-05T13:51:57.734-07:00Bill, I don't know about Mimosa Umbrella but i...Bill, I don't know about Mimosa Umbrella but i did want to tell you that Shirley Ann McCord jjust started a late rebloom yesterday.
