Dear All; My first note this season about this species was on Oct 10. Now about 7 weeks later; another report. This fall has been exceptionally mild, but earlier in the week snowfall dropped nearly 10 inches and totally buried this Morea. Temps only dropped to about the mid 20s (F- 03 -4C). Warmer weather has melted all the snow and the Morea is unphased. Open flowers are mostly mashed, but unopened buds look ready to open in a day or two. It has bloom with 1,2 or 3 flowers at a time almost continuously for the past 7 weeks. Inches away are plants of Hippeastrum xjohnsonii and they all have severe frost damage to the foliage while foliage of the Morea is untouched. Continued amazement and enjoying this long blooming and stalwart plant. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
