Hope the plicataman is lurking, and I don't need to send an extra post.
Secret Service (Keppel 2002) opened yesterday afternoon. Wow! Better than I
had hoped. Somewhat smaller flowers, but on a weaker fan in a first year
plant so that may get better. Kinda' low/average ruffling, which is pretty
good for the Romantic Evening color class. Super-dark, velvety falls; weird,
mysterious bronze-and-lavender-blended standards with a grayish look (best
seen up close) and a bronze/gilt edge.
Instantly crossed with Louisa's Song and Tuscan Villa. It had tons of
pollen.
