Sorry, would love to be there, but I have a family reunion in Hershey PA.
Anything good I should visit on the way to or from Harrisburg?
And any idea what my beautiful blue is? By the way, the beards are blue
touched with yellow, the rays extend into the crowns as well, and I now
notice that the mature blooms have a thin (1/8") line of blue-and-white
veining around the fall edges.
