Thank you for this timely article and the connecting links to some of the varieties. It would be wonderful to see more examples in our Database.
I recently submitted some photos to a Thread called 'Floral Alphabet Soup!! E ... eh?.' - of some Erica carnea plants.
One, Erica carnea 'Nathalie' I still have to go through the process of entering into the Database.
The other, is one I'm having trouble identifying as it came from the Nursery with no label. It can start its bloom time in November, be covered by snow, and continue blooming from April to May. I'm glad you mentioned to prune it right then, because it can already start setting blossoms at that time!
I've just tried to move that section into this space, but I don't know how to execute that move. I tried using the "Quote" but don't know how to move it from the Soup thread to here.
Thanks for any help in the identity department.
