Hi,

Now, I found lots of self-sown seedlings of purpurea President Tyler growing among kohlrabi and Dahlia coccinea. This MG is now blooming. I think the time from seed to bloom was about 20 days. Is this abnormal?

Not for an I. purpurea! Watch that they don't strangle out your dahlia and other plants. =:-O

So...
The others (at least 20) are exhibiting the same bloom time. They will interbreed. Will the bloom time be lost in the next generation, Becky? I hope not. Maybe I can pass seeds to you, Debra and Ron (and whoever else wants it!), like that dwarf Hederacea last year. That's growing fine now.

Those Dahlias are really precious to me! I think I will try my hand at pruning them next month...
