Good Morning,
I would like to know when I shoulc pick a reverse bi-color that I would like to take to a show. It is open now, but the color is not developed yet. Do I pick it now or after the cup whitens up?
The only flowers that we will have in our shows are local grown ones and I want to take as many varieties as possible for the public to see.
Thanks,
Mary

They will definitely reverse if picked several days ahead of the show. I just picked several — Chesapeake Bay, Hicks Mill, Xunantunich and a couple of others — all were yellow, and all reversed in about 2 or 3 days in a cool room without heat or much light. Our weather reports were horrible and I wanted to get them before it poured.

I am doing an informal survey on the cultivar Chicken Hill-
how big it gets when healthy, color and reversing
how well it grows- I am planing to measure mine
tomorrow- anyone know the usual bloom size?
I had thought that it was a large bloom and
wonder about the size I am getting

My Chicken Hill did not seem to be super large — I guess I would term it a mid-sized flower. it is probably the same size as Xuxantunich and slightly larger than Hicks Mill.
