 I would like to know why Deutschland is listed  under arendsii and

 two different things. Could
 someone explain how this works.

 Another example I bought A. arendsii Peach Blossom and my neighbor
 bought
 one under the name A. rosea Peach Blossom and then in the Shady Oaks
 Catalog
 it's listed under A. japonica Peach Blossom.  I'm really confused now.
 Another
 thing I would like to know is Peach Blossom when in bloom  a soft to
 medium pink and it's got some white in it?  Mine is a solid medium pink
 when it's in bloom and like I said it was listed under arendsii.

Deutschland and Peach Blossom are hybrids of A. japonica. On label, just put
A.'Deutschland' and A. 'Peach Blossom' .(The taxonimists love to confuse
us.<BG>)
