Re: HYB: narrow strappy falls


Christy, Im trying to remember TBs that might maximize the long narrow
look you describe & all the mental images I get are of falls that are
narrow at the haft, but broad at the end, some even bulge out towards
the end.  How about banjo shaped falls? <g>

The <mystery> historic neglecta that Neil M and I have seen blooming
very late has small flowers on TB height stalks, with widely flaring
falls that may have a bit of a twist or wrinkle at the end.  It's a
graceful thing - I can imagine something in that line with slightly
longer falls.  I've not had success making crosses with this thing, but
it blooms very late & I haven't tried very hard.

I will send you some if you want, & maybe there are some others in that
small flowered but tall group that would work well.  Or some older MTBs?

?? does that sound like what you have in mind?
