I thought about both of those possibilities: fresher/healthier. Especially after I saw earlier photos that went both ways from all three vendors I have clusters from. Just for fun, I may plant all three vendor's Dorcas Lives Again in my new garden which will be much more consistent in conditions (soil, moisture, drainage, sun, no other plants in garden). I just hope I can remember the details of this little comparison project several months from now. Maybe if I make notes in my MS Outlook calendar....
