Blyth's Chaos Theory Lovey dubby :
I am jealous of how all the flatties open totally flat all the time in the PNW. Or at least all the ones I saw did. They aren't as obliging in North Carolina.


Paul's Cat Tales: Thumb of 2019-07-14/Lestv/d6e422

I want to point out something in this picture because it proves that you can't always rely on beard color. Cat Tales usually has brown beards but quite clearly a couple of the blooms on this rhizome have orange and white beards.

I had something like that happen a few years back with the SDB Little Stitches that had different beards on early blooms than on the later blooms of the same rhizome. It probably isn't a common issue but don't panic if your Cat Tales doesn't have brown beards!
