<<The beauty of different soils.  Here in my Michigan Blue Clay "Crap Soil",
Centaurea montana is very purple and all of the veronicas are also very
purple.  Just this year I have been experimenting with trying some of the acid
fertilizers on those plants that claim to need acid soil.  Of course, I won't
know right away, the out come, but if you have ever tried to grow anything in
my pottery soil you'll know why I experiment.  >>

I have clay too... but the blue veronica is cobalt or navy blue for me... no
violet in it. I love the dark blues too... not just sky blue.
On another note... anyone have any ideas for Black flowers (close as
possible)???? i have seen some Iris, Hollyhock, Pinks, and Geranium "phaeum"
(spelling?) that were passable...any more ideas?
