Janet asks...
>...what does Lustre look like...
Very likely out of aphylla breeding, it has the characteristic branching.
About 24 inches tall, a violet self or slight bi-tone (Standards RHS 82A,
falls 83C) bluish white beard tipped yellow, self haft veining overlaid on
a white area around the beard, white area carrying out to shoulder margins.
Two blooms fading, a batch to come out, didn't give me much to work with
and my memory doesn't pull up the details from spring bloom...
I'll try my photo logs and see if I have a slide that I can chuck up on the
HIPS site.
>and is it available now?
Don't know if it is in commerce -- Anner might have something on this.
I'm surprised that I haven't found it behind MTBs...perhaps if it had been
used instead of Thisbe we would have more MTB cultivars exhibiting
rebloom...but perhaps not, it IS a dice game...
