Dear all; Here the buds are just beginning to show with stalks down in the foliage. The only thing in bloom is a lovely pale tangerine C. cyranthiflora. Flowers open pale yellow and age to tangerine. Looks like yellows are ahead of orange in general, but this seems typical, too. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
