Excellent photos Judy!
I've had COSMIC KALEIDOSCOPE for a couple years now. It took 2 seasons to get going but really hit its stride this year. I have it growing in the ground and it get's little special attention. I was nervous with the first winter but it came back and multiplied like a champ. This one regularly will also have proliferations on the scape.
For me it blooms pretty close to the registered specs though I can't say that I really ever measured or counted. It is fertile both ways in my hands. I also have the conversion of this plant and that too grows really well and blooms pretty reliably.
