Thanks, Lucy!

Re 'Jeana': have found it seeds around (seeded true). To me, it doesn't give the

(solid?) blocks of flower colour that larger individual flowers in the panicles of other

Phlox paniculata cultivars do. It was wild collected (like 'David').

Yes, Perennial Pleasures was the first place I looked. Unfortunately, they don't have it.

I'm the originator of both Phlox 'Jeana' and 'Lavelle' (Dan Hinkley named the first after me when I shared it with him and I named the second after my mother). 'Lavelle' is a seedling of 'Jeana.' It shares its mildew resistance and isn't quite as seed-sterile as it's parent. For those of you growing either, I'd highly encourage you to plant them close to other cultivars and watch for chance seedlings that are improvements of the parents. That's how I ended up with 'Lavelle.' I live in Ecuador now so I had to abandon my project.

Thanks, Jeana. I don't know if you're aware, but Phlox 'Jeana' is being sold now by White Flower Farm and a host of other nurseries. In other words, it is hugely popular! You really made a great contribution to gardens and butterflies everywhere! Hopefully, someone will pop up with 'Lavelle' once again.

So great to "see" you again, Jeana! I really enjoyed your posts back in the far-off days when I was mainly lurking on various GardenWeb forums. Hope everything is going well for you!
