Re: SR - Informal survey
No votes for me for any of the MW contenders. Over In Gloryland has taken four
years to yield 3 bloom stalks and Moonsilk died.
On the AM contenders, both Mesa Pearl and Sprinkles died. One of them struggled
for a while but I can't remember which. Trim the Velvet is a first year plant
for me and is doing well. I've only seen Fairy Fingers in a pot -- I thought
it was rather neat.
I've neither grown nor the seen the other contenders.
