I only hope my Dr. Ruppel looks as good in future years, gram. I just planted it a few weeks ago.

It's not Kilian, Dave. I'd have remembered the name since my kids have names beginning with K.

I checked my gardening records and it did bloom in 2003 and I had question marks as to the name. Our local horticulturist said the two most common errors with cultivars are found with clematis and astilbe. The grower believes he's growing one kind and there may be seeds of another mixed in with it.

I just ordered this one, Oshomiro, through a friend in Canada and it's her picture. It sounds like a dreaded disease, doesn't it?

"Oh no, poor Pirl has Oshomiro!"
