Mother Earth does fine here. Only two criticisms - 1) Yes, she tends to fall
over, kind of reminds me of a guppy whose tail is so big, he can't hardly drag
it around 2) the gorgeous blue fades to a sort of dark pink about the end of
the second day. I tend to think a bloom that's maybe too big might be a good
thing to cross with rebloomers whose blooms seem too small - regressing toward
the mean, you know. Then too, with the color change, it's easy to find the
new blooms to pollinate.
