Thanks Bob.  I knew that, now that you've reminded me.  I'm supposed to have a
few of the old named ones, but many of my labels got all washed off in
2001/2002, before any of them flowered, so I'm still trying to straighten that
mess out.

One is Bazak #4, which I can't find a picture of anywhere.  Same for Bulgaria
and Cretica.  I'm wondering if that unknown (that I thought might have been an
aphlla) that we were all trying to id this summer is one of these.

Old texts talked about a pumila with branching you know it was not really a
pumila.
