Only divisions or copies of the clone 'JEM' should be labeled FCC/AOS. Other clones may or may not be awarded. There is more information in the FAQ "what does all this name stuff mean" but you should note the variation in flower quality that will occur every time the following crossing is made. Every seedling produced, though different will be called Wine Delight. Seed Parent Genus Cycnoches Epithet lehmannii Pollen Parent Genus Mormodes Epithet sinuataur Could be fraud. Could be just a mistake.

Flowers are wonderfull for both plants but my personal choice is wine and roses. But I must admit its been a learning experience for me . I bought 3 weigela last year 2 red prince and 1 wine and roses. The red prince has and is still flowering their heads off but I stray. The WR flowered some last year but did not releaf nor did it grow and I gave up on it as being dead. Meanwhile this season I found two more larger wine and roses 3gal size. They were not flowering when I bought them but I was sure they would they had not flowered up thru early july. So I go over to a nearby plant farm and talk to head man in the shrubs he said they would not flower this year if they had not by now. So I went for broke I started watering these guys heavy compared to what I had been watering and can you believe it they started lightly flowering even in this heat and drought of this year. So the answer I had been severely under watering these guys in fear of over watering and causing root rot. I had read about this over and over. I should not have been scared as I made sure these guys had great well draining soil. So I had also killed the first plant from last year for the same reason. It is said the first two years they need plenty of water till established and then after that they should be ok. So at least now I have a feel for how much water they need at least in this drought.

Thank you again for all the advice and ideas! That's why I love GW! CEFreeman: I know that is a common mistake- I'ld like to think that most folks are now aware that above the fridge is the last place you should put your wine. But then again, what about olive oil next to the stove? That's the most convenient place to keep it, and where most folks store it, but exposing it to the heat is also bad for the olive oil. I am keeping my design the way it is, although we tweaked the cabinet so the bottom doors line up with the glass doors above. I've decided that the "crate" wine storage is fine for us- and I like the way it breaks up the cabinetry. No wine drawers available through Medallion, but I'm fine with it.

What a nuisance. Well, I don't grow a deep purple but 'Dusky Challenger' has been the favorite for many years. Schreiners turns out superb lav-blues and purples. Looking at pictures it seems Dusky is a bit darker than 'Matinata'. Which is lovely. 'Black is Back' (Schreiners, AM'14), 'Black Suited' (Innerst, HM'03), 'Black Tie Affair' (Schreiners, AM'97) --- pictures show them to be on the blacker side. Deep wine reds --- I didn't like 'Mulled Wine' (Keppel, AM'86) after a day because it opened its standards too wide but great color. 'Merlot' was meh. The names escape just now but I found the saturated jewel tones stunning. Their dawback is fade. Ghio does some. Maybe Keppel. BlueJ Iris has reasonable prices and a large selection. I think you deduct 10% if you don't want bonuses. Listed are awards which is helpful when I am unsure. If an iris didn't even get an HM I'm probably going to be disappointed down the line (experience speaking). I also look at height for my small garden. Try to resist the 40 inchers. Good luck Linnea.
