Re: lobelias

I went to a nursery today and found a bunch of gallon pots of Ruby Slippers.
The color is basically the same as the one I have. And while I would call it
dark purple,  since the rest are all the same, then it is probably a 'ruby' or
'cerise' color. "The eye of the beholder". Whatever it is, it is just
beautiful. But not next to the cardinalis. They clash. CHAR
