Jere,
The remaining 6 will be little Adams and I'm considering doing them without wings and
testing that variation.
I knew the beetles are fast tying but I'm down now where I don't have much time left.
I had family (5) out last week from PA and got to show them around Washington.
Luckily it was overcast and cool a lot. I don't think they'll move out here. The
traffic helped with "first impressions" lots.
So.. a Pink Lady is just a bigger variety of a PMD? I was puzzled over that.
