I was struck with awe and envy by that anchusa, too. My recollection is that Annie's annuals and Bluestone Perennials both have blue anchusas. I've had really good luck with both sources.
No JGG syndrome for Cindi in Kansas! Some of the DA roses in my garden are not very branched (Crocus Rose & Tess), but they were propagated in a way that produced lots of canes growing out at an angle, giving the rose a full look. I've got my fingers crossed for the DA roses I planted this year.
