Terry,

Hello. I could not figure how to post a picture when making a comment to your blog (well I did not try too hard). I guess my linking to your blog helped (just curious if you saw a bump in traffic). I got both Tennessee Gentleman & Tennessee Woman from the same regional commercial source.

above are the two side by side. Gentleman first; Woman second.

The only issue for me has been bloom time. Gentleman has always been early for me, which is different from the M-L it has in the AIS description. AND, I live less than 20 miles from where they were created.

Some of mine show more or less color in different places in the yard, so I think the color issue is just a water/nutrient thing.

Glad you came to this foum! I think now it is time to do away with the cubit one. I was a proponent of keeping both when ATP first came on the scene, but I now think it is time to consolidate. Of course, that may also be a "traffic" driven decision. Just my two cents.
Greg

PS Love your blog!
