Nice pictures for sure. I've never been able to get a picture of Queen in Calico that was nice, and you have a bunch of them, especially that second one. Mine never look like the flower.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Greg,

Like Arlyn, I wanted to thank you for the shots of the historics. I was especially thrilled to see a picture of Dr. Moody, which I've been sort of obsessed with it since I saw a picture of it and read about its history a few months back. So cool that you're growing it.

Best regards,
Brett

Oh, also:

Is there a chance that your "Supposed to be Pure-As-The" is Minnesota Mixed-Up Kid? I don't grow it, but it is kind of distinctive.

I have to check my source and see what its neighbors were to make an ID. I was thinking it might be Aardvark Antizes (did I spell that right?)
