Aww thanks mgh and lilyfan :-) Boojum - it was much yellower than I expected, though not a deep yellow color. I would say "creamy yellow" is accurate..kind of like butter. It looked more faded in the catalog than it turned out to be, and didn't fade at all in our hot summer climate. The one in the picture was in its second year here, and was much bigger than in the first. Below is "Dubonette" that I got from B&D...it is a straight Oriental that bloomed in the same time frame as futura. Picture was taken in early June of this year here. It looks similar to "Stargazer" but is darker, bigger, flatter, and more outfacing, and is unaffected by heat. I ordered a bunch more of those as well as Futuras. BTW - is that an Oriental, boojum? I heard yellow was a fairly new color for them.
