Donald, that was my photo taken here in Cincinnati on a cloudy
(rainy) day. I'll try to take a better photo this year if the
weather cooperates. It would be interesting to compare flowers under
the same lighting. Do you have any photos yet from the current bloom
season? My ARIL REVERIE has not rebloomed, but I've only had it for
one bloom season so far... and it was disrupted by moving to a new
house last summer.
Spring has finally arrived here in Cincinnati... my muscari &
daffodils have finally started. Even my daffodils are about a week
behind everyone else in the neighborhood. OTOH mine ought to outlast
everyone else's!
I also have germination starting in my flats of wild flowers...
Rudbeckia seems to be the first to germinate.
