Hi Maureen, and robins,
As regards the excellent plant SAPPHIRE ROYALE, I received a plant from Mike
Henrietta, of Plants Unlimited, in 1996. He got it from someone at the Perennial
Plant Association meeting that year. I have sold over 20 plants and have more than
20 on hand, from two fans! If it helps, I could get documentation from Plants
Unlimited. The paper robin SKYWINGS, has documentation of this also. Perhaps Libby
has old documents from this robin. Jim
