tom, Is perhaps your ground waterlogged from all the rain we've received lately? I ask b'c with waterlogged soils the plants can't get oxygen or nutrients and so wilt and then the leaves turn yellow. Also, Yellow Pear is quite susceptible to Early BLight ( A. solani) but you haven't described any lesions on the leaves that go a long with that, and EB doesn't show wilting anyway, as a symptom. But if we're talking just this yellow Pear and the others of the same variety are fine right now then perhaps one might start thinking about a seedborne disease. Are all the Yellow Pears being grown in the exact same area and receiving the exact same treatment? Carolyn

There is a fluid-filled balance ring around the tub. That's what you are hearing and it's normal.

What perfect Valentine presents! Couldn't be better! Hope your tests came out with good results! ~ Carol ~

Kay, there are so many posts being put up that I missed this one! I started to post some of my late ones but I can hardly keep up with what everyone else is posting without posting more!! I have some reblooming as well. One of those is a Maryott whose name I cannot remember while sitting here that has five rebloom scapes on it and I don't care because it did not give me one unsplotched bloom or even one bloom fully open this year. It is probably going to find a new home somewhere this year as I have had the same problem since it has been here. I really like your Blue Ribbon and great that you have blooms on your new one. Jello Roll Morton performed well for you this year. I do wonder if we will have a rebloom season like last year?!! I kinda hope not if this heat keeps up. Not just for my sake but for the lilies as well! Kate
