RE: crocosmia

> this arises just as much from  nurseries growing on from seed then
selling under the original name,
This particular crime seems to be extra serious in the case of crocosmias.  A 
few years ago I thought it would be interesting to see what I got from seed of 
my favourite Crocosmia 'Solfaterre' (sometimes 'Solfatare') with very 
attractive bronze leaves and apricot-yellow flowers which seem just right for 
the leaf colour.  The results astonished me.  None had good bronze leaf colour 
and the flowers varied from yellow through orange to red, mainly small, and no 
two the same!  They were certainly not as good as the original.  The only good 
thing was that none could possibly have  been distributed as the original!  Ja
