Linda -- LUMALITE has been a favorite of mine ever since I first saw
it in a show and took it outside to see it in natural light. It
absolutely glowed! Its pedigree shows a lot of work. I can't
remember if it stands up much above the foliage for me, but will make
a point of checking that tomorrow. Right now, I'm awaiting the
blooms on several stalks of first-year seedlings from three crosses
with LUMALITE, and I have sprouts from a couple more crosses made
last season. If anything particularly nice shows up, I'll post it.
