I second that wow on Spectral Elegance! It reminds me of the frosting on a very fancy cake.

Hey, no sweat, that happens to all of us from time to time. :) I'd never be able to remember all of mine if I didn't take along a notebook and pen while making my photos. After I take a photo, I jot down the name so I have a list of what I took each day. I put the date at the top of the page for reference if I need to go back and check a certain day. Anyway, which ever one she is, she's a beauty, as are the rest of yours. Thanks for posting them. Jan

I know the single flower form holds up for my friend, in Orlando, through the summer. I have a plantlet of it as well. So maybe I'll be able to compare the two. It appears I will have tons of seeds for the double form, so I will most definitely share. Tom, it is lavender. Can't remember what kind. I bought 3 different kinds and lost 2 of them. I bought them at a USF sale. Oh good. I'm glad it wasn't just me killing butterfly bushes. I have figured out that they like tons of water. I've also noted that I never see a butterfly on the white one! My purple one is not blooming yet and I have that one in a pot as it is floppy.

Julia, Sounds like you just got the same weather system a day earlier than I did. Got some hard rain last night and we've been having showers all day. Miner's Findings really shaped up after the first few flowers that didn't open well--and it's late. Nancy, Autumn Woods had a great year here too. Funny I just looked it up and it only started blooming 3 days earlier than last year and most of mine bloomed 2-3 weeks earlier. It ended later than last year too. Thanks, I like the look of the seedling and it had a pretty good budcount so I'll see how it does next year. Rita, Decatur Cherry Smash has a great budcount and is consistently a star performer here. One of those oldies I'll always have. Val

OK I'm going to be different, I really like Sycamore best with spectral close behind. They are beautiful. I bet magic sticks out in a crowd. Love its unique color. Thanks for sharing.
