Re: TB:Edith Wolford

Walter,
I hope Boogie Woogie and Owyhee Desert do better here. I bought both last year and had not heard that they could be trouble. They are both out in level full sun areas with the rest of last years order. Do you have any others that do especially badly? If they are here already I might move them somewhere they may do better. I have difficult places I can not water readlily that these poor performers seem to hold their own in where evereything else dies.

  After experiencing many non-bloom seasons with EW and moving 
  her around into several microclimates within the garden, I finally
  tossed her last fall at transplant time.  So she would not go into
  that dark good-night alone, BOOGIE WOOGIE and OWYHEE 
  DESERT were sent
  along as company because they are almost as wretched as EW, 
  blooming
  once in three or four years on runted stalks.  It's hard to believe
  that I once won QOS on BW, but that was on a one year plant and 
  in
  another garden.  The bud was formed in Texas and bloomed at 
  registered
  height in MS.  No repeat performances since.

  I intend to investigate some EW look-alikes mentioned here on the 
  list
  and as a replacement for BW, I have ordered Ghio's VAPOR, 
  which looks
  similar but is out of luminata breeding.  I don't know what to get for
  an OD replacement.  Any ideas?

  Ghio and Keppel come up with so many new combinations each 
  year, it's hard to choose.  I want all of them but don't have the
  space!
