Thanks again Donald. I accept some fading of course. Even Bela Lugosi doesn't look prime at 7 PM after a day in the 90's, but it's still a recognizable deep purple. I know this color is hard to come by and presume that's why the purple "Larry's Obsession" was named as such - because a good purple (like a mate) is hard to find.........Anyone grown Evening Enchantment perhaps?.......Maryl
