Sorry, Marte, but somebody has mislabelled something.  BANBURY RUFFLES   is
a SDB, not a PCN, and it's a nice deep blue self with a lovely fragrance.
Was registered in 1970, with D. Reath given as hybridizer.  So your purple
PCN has to be something else.


Barb in Santa Fe, with no snow on the ground, but it keeps drifting in lost
flakes out of the clouds.  My first bearded iris (an MDB seedling) bloomed
last Tuesday, just in time to get creamed by the snowstorms of Wednesday and
Thursday.   Sigh.
