Coooooool. The only one of those I grow is Ben David. I got it last year
as an extra. It's done well over winter, so it should bloom this spring
(healthy increases too). Xillia rings a bell....let me refer to my ASI
checklists. *rummaging through bookshelf* Here it is. Oh, now that's
interesting. It's an intro by a "Timothy" Blyth. Is this Barry's son?
Registered in 1988, introduced by Tempo Two in 1988-89. 1/4-bred (OGB-).
Standards opalescent grey, chartreuse hues; Falls opalescent grey, more
pronounced charteruse overlays; old gold beard, lavendar at base. Grows to
56 cm. (Manhattan Blues x Story Theme)
And then Naomi of Mara...another aussie 1/4-bred (OGB-) this time by E. S.
Fankhauser. Registered 1989, introduced by Tempo Two in 1990-91.
Standards rich red violet, some veining; Falls the same, slightly blended
brown near hafts; beard brown on blue-violet base. Grows to 45 cm. and a
lineage too complicated for me to bother writing down. :)
If you want me to look up the others for you, just ask!

I did this too! What really screwed me up was the first place I read about
it in, had it misspelled. Coalignition was one I got last fall. It
survived the winter here, but heaved up a bit more than its neighbors.
