SEA POWER has YAQUINA BLUE as one parent. YB bloomed once in five
years here on a runted stalk. SP has been replaced, is a two-fan clump now,
and has never bloomed in three years. I have always had trouble with light
blues from Schreiners and their progeny by others seems to inherit the 'don't
like Mississippi genes,' too.
I have to vote my ballot according to performance in my garden and those
nearby. I do not vote for pictures or performance in Halifax. The pictures do
show these flowers to be breathtaking, but I just cannot get them to perform
for me. I wish I could have given them a better report.
