Re: Comparisons

Sandy,

I don't have the Kerrigan Goblin now.  Years ago I had a cutting snipped from
some public planting that I later identified as Goblin.  It was a great
performer.  I think the petals were a bit more irregular than I really like,
but the red color and the dark leaves were very striking.  That said, I don't
fully trust myself to identify varieties that I find or get without data (what
the courts would call "chain of custody" for evidence) and always mark the
plant with a "(?)" on labels and in my notes.  I confess I've sometimes done
that with plants received from growers that didn't quite conform to my
understanding or memory of the variety.  This Goblin(?) did not have a white
center, but I don't remember the stigma.

Do you grow Redondo?  I remember that being similar to "Kerrigoblin."
Comparisons?

Best,

Barry
