Today in Calgary (zone 3A) I noticed about a dozen of these have come out,
with completely mature flower heads, albeit closed in today's overcast and
cold conditions (-8 celcius).  I guess with this week's highs of +8 it was
enough.

Strangely they last appeared November 2001.

    For temps below 0� C, the formula for F is 32� minus 9/5 x C. In this
case, - 8� C = 17.6� F. A little chillier than the holler, though 43� makes
me shiver in northern CA!
