Well I planted mine a few weeks ago and I hope it will be as stunning as yours. Actually I expect it to be more like Peace's high centered form. Yours looks more blowzy. Is it more looser than Peace?

Chicago's buds are not the high centered ones like Tiffany's. I most often shoot it in the opening stages. But yes, it matures into a blowzy look, as does Peace if I remember correctly. I hope you love it as much as I do. My favorite HT of the 60's.

Those are looking good--how exciting!

I have grown both on a number of occasions, but none of them stick in my memory for some exquisite high centered form.

That just usually means that a photographer happened by at the precise moment of perfect form, thus giving the illusion that perfect form is one of the outstanding traits of Peace. Instead when I think back on the outstanding soulful traits of Peace, I remember the most exquisite colors and shades--dreamy pastels, infinite in their subtle variety.

Main difference between Peace and Chicago Peace is that Chicago Peace is Peace in brighter shades -- AND WITH AN ATTITUDE! She the woman in the crowd laughing from sheer joy of living, but much too loudly. It embarrasses the more "proper" sister Peace who isn't sure that that much noisy joie de vie is proper in a "lady," but Peace always gladly welcomes a visit form her sister-cousin Chicago Peace, who does always manage to liven up an otherwise dull evening.

LOL Kate.

he he Kate... Chicago Peace sure struts her stuff though... :-)

Beautiful!
