Chris, The photo of C. 'Allen Busey' is excellent. How can we access the
other plant photos at hort.net/gallery? When I go to that URL a box appears
for an "internal" password which I would assume is for employees?

I've had the exact opposite experience with Chrysogonum -- I'm not doubting
you; I just think it's funny. Here in East Central Illinois it tends
to dry out in the summer, so I've had to give it regular water.
I do find the flowers to be quite cute -- they make me think of a notched
buttercup or something. I have photos of 'Allen Busey' at
http://www.hort.net/gallery/view/ast/chrab
Now, it's entirely possible that 'Allen Busey' isn't a virginianum
cultivar. Truth is, I can't seem to find the parentage on this one
anywhere, and it was only purchased as Chrysogonum 'Allen Busey'.
Anyone have any information?
Chris
