good ol' 'Heather Blush' opened

10 years ago

Back when pink over lavender was uncommon I bought Heather Blush, not knowing it was a rebloomer. I divided it with a friend where it promptly rebloomed for her. Never for me! It has a double socketed terminal (top) flower and the 3rd bud down is also double socketed. 5 flowers. Not many rebloomers achieve an Award of Merit and I'm not sure why this one did. Mine fades unattractively by day 2.

Too bad it fades quickly, it looks very pretty in your photo though.

Sure is lovely, though.

Thank you. Today overcast skies broke a 2-day heat wave. 'Venita Faye' opened and the colors matched the skies! Better form and more buds than 'Heather B.' for whom she was to replace. May have to rethink that.

Gorgeous, I love the extra ruffling on this one. Better bud count is always a good thing too. My problem is I can't bear to get rid of any. I have several that look almost alike, but keep them even when some have problems-irregular blooms, flopping etc.

LOL. I'm already thinking of reasons why to keep 'Heather Blush'. Ha.
