Re: Re: TB: Fading colors (was color, oldies

Linda  --  When seedling 012A5 first bloomed, it was a heart-stopping blue 
(photo 1).  I dug it from its crowded seedling bed in a shaded corner and 
gave it room in full sun.  I can't describe my disappointment at its color 
the following year (photo 2).  Since then, it has regularized at the blue 
seen in the 3d photo, but how I miss the richness of its maiden bloom!   I 
may try putting a piece in a more shaded area again and see what 
appens.  --  Griff
