Thanks, Kitty, I'll check this out. I have some poor pix from last year but it's just too difficult to see the stems and the flowers. I'll be able to get stems and leaves in a day or so and will post them. It's truly a beauty.

 

Chris...thanks for the picture ability...this will be great fun and even more interesting. Your pic of the Echinacea is fabulous...is the one Terra Nova claims is entirely theirs just like yours? Is there anything you can do or is it too costly to fight them? Did you breed yours or was it a sport of some kind? Any possibility of re-producing something similar? What a beauty and what a terrible shame. I know you worked hard on this and had very high hopes for it.

I look forward to the time you can post a pic.  Judging from your zone &
brief description, my first guess would be that it's a Fargesia, a clumping
mountain bamboo.
