"after the 26 double fans from Maryott's"
LOL. (My order from Bill is soaking in whatever buckets and tubs I could squeeze the plants into.)
I looked at AA again today... it looks on at least one flower like it has a partial second row of petals. The plant is off the patio on the north side of one wing/corner of the house, such that from late spring through late summer it gets morning sun, but thereafter is shaded. Maybe I will dig it up when the incoming 2 x O&L arrive, but then it is probably going to suffer overwinter in the pot.
Meanwhile... the Rubdeckia I bought for autumn color has pretty much died (not sure if it is from inconsistent watering or what... I seem to have no luck with Rubdeckia). The coneflowers I ordered arrived, but 2 of the 3 'Tiki Torch' had blackened and withered leaves (and signs of a fungus). The 3rd plant also is not in great shape, but at least it has some green leaves on it. (The other coneflowers, while also somewhat affected, look to survive.) I have a complaint in to the company I bought them from, sigh.
