Thank you very much. Perhaps the hot pink will look good. I'll put
something by it tomorrow and see how it looks.
The 'electric' purple delphineum looks ghastly in front of it. I do
have a lovely campanula 'Birch's Hybrid', however. I've also ended up
with a campanula 'Kent Bells', tho I don't recall seeing it at the
Seattle Show, everybody is snapping them up here. Perhaps that has an
'electric' hue to it.
Thanks again!
