Re: HIST: quiz question - Rippling Waters

Yes, Neil, you win the bonus round <g>  Thank you.  Fascinating to think
about these critters in historical context.

There are a few oldish ones that I haven't tried here that I'm curious
about.  RIPPLING WATERS is one.  From your description of its evolution,
I'd guess it would do ok here. I'm still amazed at how well PINK FORMAL
does here, considering how poorly so many recent pinks do.

Two others I'm curious about are GLISTENING ICICLE and GIGOLO.

SNOW FLURRY's behavior was such a surprise to me.  I bought it after
reading Ben Hager's article about it.  Supposedly, SNOW FLURRY is not
particularly hardy in our wretched weather, but it did reasonably well
here.

My prejudice is that GLISTENING ICICLE won't do well in my garden, &
GIGOLO has a rep for being on the puny side.  Nothing like seeing with
my own eyes.

Maybe I will finally get around to ordering from Riverview this year &
can try to id my unknown variegata/?Barcelona, plus pick up these
