Interesting walk thru your seedling patch Walta.

<Word has abounded in the past on this list about the pod parent having
more dominant influence on what the progeny will look like.>
I'd gotten the impression from discussion here that, if anything, the
momma was supposed to have more influence on the plant characteristics
(growth habit, stems etc) - you see any of that?
<It probably will be tossed because it has no classification.>
Walter, is this because you are expecting more height consistency in
your introductions regardless of the weather than we see in a lot of
introductions from other regions? Or have you seen this one bloom in
limbo height several years now?
I guess I'm asking how many seasons do you give an otherwise good
seedling before you decide to get rid of it? Couldn't the unusually
severe freeze late this spring have caused abnormal stunting? I'm
finding myself very tempted to hang on to several siblings from the
lavender child I've been talking about lately hoping they will be more
consistent about height in 'normal' weather (which we all know is a
ridiculous concept....)
