Dear Linda: I think you just might like a few of the seedling space-agers
that I have in bloom. There is a lovely pink with lace and horns that is
very discreet indeed. There is also a big bold slugger in pink with huge
pink flounces, but yet tasteful, IMHO. There are several whites with pale
blue beards and horns. It would be wonderful to get the all-blue, truly
blue beards that are on a blue-white seedling. There is no variation, and
the blue runs right down into the throat of the bloom. Lloyd Zurbrigg,
Durham NC Zone 7.5 to 8. Rain, rain, rain. Hard to make crosses.
