Re: RE:HYB: Pallida


Good morning Jeff,

Interesting, you list I. pallida 'Variegata' as reaching 37".  For me it
and 'Argentea' are among the short ones that tend to hover around 24".
Rather smallish flowers on those two as well.  There are two things going
around as 'Odoradissima', and I don't know which is correct.  One is
smallish (about the same as the variegated ones - for me), and the other is
quite like 'Dalmatica', which is one of the tall ones that tries real hard
to be 30 inches every year.

Now that I have them all planted at the botanic garden in town, it'll be
interesting to see how they compare in growth there.  It is hotter during
summer days, but the soil is rich, the water regular, and there is no wind
(well - not much).  They were never any bigger at my previous house (not
far from the garden), but there they were in poor sand, and they were
always a bit stressed out - even hotter in day there too.

Dave
