The parentage of 'Biloxi Memories' is given as ((Lacy Marionette x Banana Pepper Spider) x ((Almost Paradise x De Colores) x De Colores)) and of those four, all but 'De Colores' are direct descendants of 'Kindly Light'. I guess it's not much of surprise, then, that 'Biloxi Memories' has purple based foliage. I wonder if the resistance to rust attributed to 'Kindly Light' was also transmitted to 'Biloxi Memories'? A rust rating is not listed in the database, but if that's a heritable trait, then 'Biloxi Memories' would seem to be a good bet to grow in areas where rust thrives. It may be just too hot and dry normally for rust to establish and thrive in my location, though I'm certainly warm enough. I'm suspecting that I'll see it at some point. Last year with all the rain would have been prime, though, and I don't think I had any.

Sorry, Sabrina, we're getting away from your question here Whistling /
