Black Baccara forming its first bud...
 

Work has been insane lately, and I missed a spray cycle or two (tough
to keep up when you're a few hundred miles away from home) and now I
have massive black spot to deal with. Ugh.

On the bright side, my baby Black Baccara (a variety to be introduced
in 2004) has a bud that is about to open. The camera is ready and
waiting...
