Fred, Michele, Cindy, Stephanie, thank you very much for your comments. Very helpful.
I really appreciate and value your opinions.
All have nice drooping foliage. Don't like foliage that sticks straight up.
All bloom a nice display distance from the foliage. Don't like too tall or blooms inside foliage.
I really like blue-green foliage, but don't see that very often.
#1-Don't like color of it either, as we agree. It is an 09 plant, pod pollen fertile, re, 6x25 emid sev.
25in scape was the first recorded, but it was taller this past year.
Kept it cause it has wide short petals, and is a round form. Due to color and slow increase, it is
out.
The other four are 2011 first time bloomers, # 3 and 4 are pod fertile, don't know about pollen yet.
They have passed the foliage and scape height test, but do not have the details yet; that
hopefully gets done this year. They bloomed well during the season. The heat got to me last
year, as well as allergic reactions from buffalo gnats three different times, and I didn't get much done.
First time ever for buffalo gnats here. I have a bee keeper hat that hubby constructed for me to use
this year.
#3 is much nicer than the photo.
#4-This is correct color for an overcast day. This one is hard to photograph, but one I just stood
and looked at for a long time. I like lavender. Don't have many that are lavender.
I have 15 more photos. Are you interested in doing this some more? I wouldn't want to
wear out my welcome here, so just tell me what is okay.
