{Disarmed} Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] Re: Flat Space Agers

Chris,
 
lol, maybe all your mid blues are Six Pack!  It does fade quite a bit.
 
If you have blooms to compare to...  I recieved Six Pack labeled as Green and Gifted, and when it opened blue the supplier told me the only other thing it could be was Six Pack.  That was right when that flattie article came out and I compared the picture to the normal blooms.  There's a dimple at the bottom of the falls that is quite distinctive...its on all the falls, even when the bloom is normal.
 
My Six Pack got consistently flat by the second season... but then I did move it to a different section of the garden, and then another garden.
 
Six Pack has a white beard that is goldenrod yellow in the throat.  In the bud the backs of the falls are quite green.  I don't have it noted as PBF.  The styles might help- if you examine the seam of the style arm at the fringe above the stigmatic lip the two sides overlap.  This seems to be a flat trait.
 
If you truly want to get a few flats I'ld be glad to share.

Ha !  As a matter of fact, I have several mid blues I can't identify so maybe I am seeing it and I don't know it. Web Bug from http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=10531289/grpspId=1707632694/msgId=2785/stime=1180577989/nc1=3848601/nc2=4299910/nc3=4025347
 
At this point, I see that borers are already doing some damage.  Because of our late Spring, I believe they bore into the spathe and sometimes appear eat/destory the entire bud as it rises.  It's illegal to use Cygon here in Canada so I'm just going to have to tolerate it until something less toxic becomes available.
 
Herbicides are also illegal here now, some my neighbours, all who spent 10 grand on landscaping have lost their grass to dandelions.  Tough luck.
