<<Most of my JI's are planted in a swale that drains into a tidal river. I
have some plantins which are quite robust after 6 years, but others that
showed signs of decline after the fourth year. I have a few reject
seedlings down by the river that I basically ignore. They have been
quite happy for 7 years. I had a single clump of 'Nikko', White Flower
Farms' unregistered selection that was quite happy for 8 years in a
sandy loam garden which drained too rapidly. It was showing no signs of
demise, but I moved it out of fear that it would die. It almost did.

PS I won Best of Show with 'Night Flash' (Huber '98) at the Diamond
State Beardless Show last week. It's a versata with much larger flowers
than most. It has great branching and the stalk curves like many
versicolors. 'Purple Parasol' is the pollen parent.

I was just talking about you in Knoxville this afternoon where I attended 
Dale Chihuly "INSTALATIONS' which is absolutely superb!  Its 11:50pm and my 
brain is dead and I can't think of your friend that sent me the sea anemone 
picts.  Well, Chihuly's glass anemone's are there until end of Aug and I 
highly recommend the whole show. Talk to you later. Hope you can go. I was 
attending the World Botanical Gardens Congress. Mainly wanted to get to the 
area and my son was exhibiting his Lark  Labels at the trade show and I had 
always wanted to go to Biltmore and thought it would be perfect and it worked 
out that way.  Anna Mae
