For me, CLARENCE is the best offering from Dr. Z and is every bit worthy
of its AM of a year or so ago. Plant it next to SUKY (from Clarence Mahan).
They make great companion plants. I just wish I could get seeds from them.
I know it can be done, but for some reason not by me. Mike Sutton's broken
color blue and white seedling is from SUKY, and I have heard of seedlings
from CLARENCE. I'll keep trying with these two and will see if I can make
the cross Mike made to get broken color. The other parent for broken color
is one of my children!!
