Add one more to the confused. Is there a picture of CK somewhere?
What I found and thought was ER has 18" stalks ,quarter sized white haft with
large purple veins and the beard goes from solid gold in the throat to yellow
tips to solid pale lavender at the end . Planted in August from an old box we
found in the attic they have bloomed from October thru now with rebloom on
some of the earlier flowering clumps.
Sharon, If this is one of the CK's your researching pollen color on I can
go sample about 400 blooms for you...
Cathleen, who better go plant the other half of the box now
Stockton Ca.
