Two of my new plants that deserve mention are some balloon flowers
(Mariesi) which were supposed to be blue but are more violet. They have
awfully short stems but I believe that's only because they have only been
in the ground since this spring. (These are the ones I wrote the list
about earlier. I found the stems seal very quickly after they are cut, so
I now trim the very tip of the stem just before plunging them in water.)
The color is very intense and once they recover from being picked they
become quite perky. The other is Verbascum Southern Charm. They must be
handled very carefully when you are picking and arranging but once they are
settled in a vase they have lasted beyond anything else I have arranged
them with. The color variations are interesting and they make a really
nice filler in an arrangement.
