Interesting reading. You guys are all hard core with the fertilizer and such. But perhaps that is one reason why I have few blooms so far this year. I had thought perhaps the dry summer had something to do with it. We are now getting rain almost daily.

I dig my tubers every fall. I wait the 2 weeks after the hard killing frost and I have found a pitch fork works so much better than a spade.

I always felt it was easier to find the eyes in the spring than in the fall. The hard part for me is to remember to sprintz my tubers once a month during the wintertime.

Mary - love the bicolor.

This is Myrtle's Folly. Last year, Erin (momoftwo607) was looking for it and posted the request on several forums. I then took a look at Myrlte, because Erin wanted it so badly. I was sold as soon as I saw her.
