Re: Andersen's Source List


Thanks Colette,  NCCPG sounds like a great group!   I'm assuming they then
make the plants available for sale??

What's H. m. lilacina flore pleno like?  I have never heard of this one.

Sorry about your double dames violet !  It may reappear.  I thought I'd
lost a pink variety once and it turned up in an unexpected place a year or
so later.  If it flowered and set seed last year (if it is one that comes
true from seed), there might just be a chance.
