Hi Rick!
Lol! Now I can't quite remember what those intials PROFOFPARD stand for! I'll have to look it up, maybe copy the lot while I can. What fun that was! I'll have to try contacting Robert, he drifted away from the other place as I did.
If dahlianut hasn't seen my Di, she will soon! It's still growing in the ground next to the south wall, I even got good sized buds last year. The frosts didn't arrive until mid December which is unusual, but boy did they arrive in style. We had 3 months of constant hard frosts, not as hard as you might get but many down to -8C night after night with days at freezing or barely above. It didn't improve much until at least mid April! That proves I can get buds, I doubt I would get flowers with our winters and the lateness of them unless I had it in a greenhouse then it's still unlikely, and I would need a chimney on a greenhouse to take the height! Fun to grow though.
OK, I have noticed that gloriowhatsit look alike! Can it be trusted?
Does it flower every year for you? I might have to start bringing mine inside over winter to get flowers! Extremely nice!
Oh yes, that interview spotlight thing, watch out Nancy's about!
I had another nice cross of yours flower this year, looks like a species I don't remember the name of
but it's gorgeous. I think I got the name off the label of the cross, some have nearly faded away. I'll dig it up from my folders another time.
