Yes, thank you so much for your interest, I did do a batch of those from SIGNA
and I did indeed enjoy the darker touches. But the form of the bloom on most
of them was miserable and the whiteness quite dingy. Several tended to flop
immediately after bloom as well, which is a drag. I had one that I thought was
going to be very wonderful a lot since it was a decadent ashy lavender in bud
and extra dark on the spathes, but pfui.
Anyone growing our Clarence's SYLVANSHINE? I'm thinking of actually buying
that one to see what he fancied about it. Clarence has a nice eye for a plant
and he appreciates the simple ones, too.
