Hello all @ofm, @valleylynn, @goldfinch4 - want to bring up a topic that has been bothering me...OFM your photo of 'Raspberry Ice' really doesn't look like the correct plant, and I think Lynn, you have this same incorrect plant. Sad
Since that photo was posted a few weeks ago, I've been noticing that several different nurseries, one in OR and 2 here in Seattle are selling the same plant that OFM has, and listed as 'Raspberry Ice' it is not, it looks more like Averil or something.
While I was at Kevin's (@jungleshadows ) he gave me a hen which he got directly from the hybridizer's stock and it matches what I already had.
I received mine from @MarkB so I know he has the correct one. And from the photos in the database it looks like @calif_Sue also has the correct plant (since it looks exactly like what I have)
Just want to put a warning out there that there is a large amount of this mislabelled plant currently being sold I tip my hat to you. Thanks!
