Re: Unknown Historics blooming ...

Thanks For the help Dave.  

I. germanica was on my list of possibilities for the Dk purple 
unknown.  Help me understand it right.. this plant is growing about 
right or should be bigger that what its doing??  The place where 
they are at hasn't seen soil ammendments in the 32 years I've lived 
in the house.... I'm tempted to dig everything out of those beds.. 
and completely redo them...Phlox and all..

called 'Crimson King' and 'Nepalensis'.  The photos do not appear to 
match exactly the photos I have of 'Crimson King', which have 
slightly darker coloring and the dark veining at the hafts slightly 
thicker; however, they are so close that the difference could be 
cultural, and they could indeed be the same.  These should be early 
flowering and barely larger than IB size (with rather small flowers 
as compared to most TB's).
