V. sez:

This bloomed this year for me for the first time. Looked a
lot like RINGO, but larger. I got mine from Keith Keppel
two years ago. I think I saw it in another garden this
spring, and it looked like mine, but I won't swear to it.

V. sez:
I have had this for several years, and it does pretty well.
I have never had any rot on it. And I'm not just waving the
Region 3 flag...

> BURST - slight drought damage.  No bloom.

V. sez: 
Two year clump bloomed for the first time this year, and
this was my FAVORITE maiden bloom, despite a low bud count.
This came to me as a "freebee" from Keppel, so I didn't
know what to expect until it bloomed, as I hadn't seen it
anywhere. Strong grower here, even though most of Blyth's
aren't.

V. sez:
This rotted away on me last year, following 14 days of
rain, but it has looked SO GOOD in some other gardens in
the area. Growth seems to be a little scant, compared to
most cultivars. I think it needs some TLC, but it can do
very well if it's happy. >
