Re: Future trends in colours


From: "Jan Clark" <janclarx@hotmail.com>

>Where do these 'trends' come from?  Are they like fashion in 
clothes--some people at the top get together and decree what we will all 
be growing?  As an example, last year it was obviously 
sunflowers--nearly every major seed house featured pages of sunflowers 
and many had sunflowers on the catalog cover. 

I guess big plant and seed companies and big shows like the Chelsea 
flower show guide the public in their decisions. I can't help feeling 
more than a little cynical after watching the 1998 Chelsea flower show 
special on T.V. last night. The reporter showed a close up of 3 'new' 
iris being displayed at the show this year. They were SYNCOPATION, 
INDIAN CHIEF, and the siberian SILVER EDGE.
