Claire, under normal circs I agree because you really do have to go
for an accepted clone to get a specific color...but have read
numerous posts on other lists concerning the variability of flower
color due to environmental factors. Nobody actually has listed
anything consistent nor hard and fast rules, but it seems that soil,
etc., can have an influence on flower color. These posts have not
been about lilacs, per se, but have covered several genera and seems
to me this could be something that holds true for all flowering
plants. What do you think?
