Happy Returns is one I had at my old house. I added Big Time Happy, which is a descendant, I believe. BTH is bigger than HR, but otherwise I had a tough time telling them apart. Both have 18" scapes, the colors are very similar, etc. Does anyone have a good way of telling them apart?
I ask, because as I said I had both at my old house. I moved out gradually, but plants were dug and not labeled from Oct-Feb. In spring it was well nigh impossible to tell which was which.
Following 2 more moves, I'd assumed my Happy Returns plants were lost. I saw it on a clearance rack at Lowe's, and bought it. NOW I'm noticing that I have some coming up and blooming that don't look quite like Big Time Happy, but definitely aren't anything else. So...long story short...don't spring for a replacement til you know something is really gone!
