Glorious! I once impulse-bought a Clematis, even though it was a non-clinger, (fancy that, me, a vine addict.) because it had dark veins. Luscious, lascivious, dark veins...

Where did you get your 'Sangria?' I am fascinated to see it bloom- but with unspotted leaves to boot. Golly, it looks like 'Mint Julep.' Just excellent form. That is what I think is the ideal form for a Zantedeschia, non of this open-based spathe riff-raff!

Somewhere I cought wind of block-vareigated Zants. (Think red-splashed on gold flowers) Unfortunately, it was when I was quite down on Zant collecting after my little stint with softrot, and did not follow-up on the rumour. I'm still not really 100% "rooted" as a Zant specializer. I won't be unti I can figure out how to check the erwinia in my climate. I stil ahve experiments to do. I used to be so serious, I would re-bloom my silly bulbs and all. Some day I'll find that genera that calls to me, and I'll hybridize until the cows come home and learn to knit...
