Hello,
I have some seedlings from Thornbird, and also from Thornbird and
Mesmerizer. Thornbird is good for me but this two variety give me some ("not
finish") flowers in the seedlings (the first bloom). I have just two years
of bloom now and I work with Thornbird and less with Mesmerizer. Space age
give you many surprises.
