Roosterlorn said:Leon--I agree with Jo Ann, your Altari IS Alteri. However, your Black Dragon is NOT Black Dragon, and should never have been sold as such. It looks like a lighter colored Midnight, which varies in intensity from very dark to a lighter pink. Your Boogie Woogie IS Boogie Woogie. Sometimes the pink edge doesn't develop if warm nights are experienced a week or so before the buds open, which happens more often than not here. But I get a good show if I'm lucky with cool nights. The same is true for Porcelain Doll, Tropical Isle and some other pink picotee types.
You wanted to know why the old stock photos aren't being replaced. Most likely because the phony photo sells lilies. How pathetic is that?I also appreciate your input on my "identity crisis" with the lilies. At least I can always post the pictures in the generic file which covers them all. But it would be nice to have them accurately identified; even if there are minor variations.
