Awake, Spice Sister, Dapper

18 years ago

All of these are Blyth's and I'm crazy about every one. They've all grown very well (second year) and despite another late freeze they've been blooming like crazy since the 3rd. These aren't the best photos I've managed from them, but they are the ones I have available right now. I try to keep myself from uploading newer photos when I have older waiting.

'Awake' has a more sparse look to the clump and a low bud count(some 1 most 2), but is still stunning. The buds were a violet pink, and the flowers are a light violet, which my camera wouldn't capture.

'Spice Sister' had much better clumping habit. Very dense and plenty of blooms. They are of an older form, but they make a striking clump. I'll be uploading more photos of this one to my photobucket account when they're edited.

'Dapper' has gorgeous form, intense/deep color, and neat white rays around the beards. I was concerned that it may have been out of class (some stalks were 17.5") but it is within class when you consider the later stalks that have bloomed shorter. The handbook says the height on a variety like this should be the median between the tallest and shortest stalks at peak. I really like it. Nice branching too.
