Re: No fan of Stella D'Oro


Well, Don...hafta say I'm with you.  Couldn't wait to get one and
have not loved it much.  Find bloom color extremely harsh and
unattractive orangeish-gold...not my fav. color.  Could be the strain
I ended up with, but once I got this plant, have not been able to
discover what all the hoopla was about it in the first place.  I keep
it - have had it for some years now - but do not cry when the deer
munch on this one.
