I have actually taken quite a few images in the last few years (just not this year)....hold on lol
Here's 2 images taken when the clump was situated in a full sun position and had been for 2-3 years. This alleged Affaire was darker, blotchy with elongated falls. It was looking rather crumpled looking..like someone had crumpled it up then tried smoothing it out again.
I couldn't make up my mind whether I like it or not...but decided to 'pot it up' due to re-arranging the layout of the gardens and left it in a half shade position.
Then the following 'blooming season,' this alleged 'Affaire' was much more 'finer looking' compacted and lighter
One thing for sure, and I thought I've photogrpahed the base of the foliages (just found out that I hadn't
) it had a strong presence of purpling at the base of its foliage...the same extent as Bayberry Candle.
And I'm hoping (crossing my fingers
lol) that the real 'Affaire' doesn't have any PBF.
