Rosalind is registered as a double, but on this day was blooming single.
 Gator Pride is normally a single, but on this day was blooming with one petaloid
coming from the base of the bloom, making it a double.
The name Morning Mist is already taken, so Fr. Gerlich will rename it.  He
will also furnish parentage information that will be added.
Visitors to the show voted for a "Peoples' Choice" Award that was won by
Red Snapper
