Some beauties there! Lower Road!! C. Blue!!!

Wow, great plants Dax. Did you have your scion-knife?? lol...

I have 'C. Blue', or so I think, listed as 'Sea Blue', a very very bright blue.

Very mature plants for the most part, always a pleasure.

I normally don't like bald-cypress but 'Cody's Feathers' Taxodium distichum looks wild.

Awesome Dax.

Will I was graftin' in the car all the way home. Filled my pockets with scions and burned rubber. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee!

The Picea pungens 'C. Blue' is short for 'Coors B;ue'. It was found by Jerry Morris at the Coors Brewing Company near Denver Colorado.
I have been in Randy's garden many a time but I see a few plant that I missed.
Randy is the founder of many great plants that have made there way around the world.
Plants like--
Picea orientalis 'Spring Grove'
Pinus koriaensis 'Spring Grove'
Abies concolor 'St. Johns' to name a few.
Thanks Dax,
Dennis

Yep!

Lata,

Damn, that was too funny!

'Lower Road' and 'Cody's Feathers' are quite intriguing I must say.

Well, its time to search a chair for Randy in the Breeder's Hall.
Thanks for the new Jerry plant photos. A remark: the RM series of pungens are 201-260. Lower numbers are just # 93 and # 121 numbered.

Flap Jack reminds me to Viola with the impossible purple-blue color. Beautiful.

You remember this post to me,and I see 1 Abies sometimes showing in Breeders hall and I see the same plant to Franz in Austria but I read the name for the first time :Abies concolor "Lower Road"
It's an Abies lasiocarpa "Lower Road"

Clement, thanks for bringing back this topic.
I always had my issues with Picea pungens 'C. Blue' and 'Coors Blue'.
I don't think they're the same plant...

Hi,
I'm still in the chaos....So what number is A. lasiocarpa Lower Road? Abies concolor or Abies lasiocarpa?
L+M �

It's Abies lasiocarpa 'Lower Road'.
The only thing you've to do is to look at it's needles at the third pic which are typical for Abies lasiocarpa...

So: Abies concolor # 6 in Franz Etzelstorfer a bad name?

Yes, it's a bad name.

Clement, I just discovered that the true name for Abies concolor #6 is 'Wyoming South' and not 'Lower road'

Please check the Jerry Morris Life Monument and look at Abies concolor 'Wyoming South' #6.
Click at the link and you'll see a simular pic as the 'Lower Road' which it isn't.
However, as you stated, it's an Abies lasiocarpa and not an Abies concolor.
So you see, also Jerry can make mistakes...

Now my question is, what is Abies lasiocarpa 'Lower Road' then?
Is this the same one as 'Wyoming South' or a totaly differend cultivar...

Here is a link that might be useful: Life Monument of Jerry Morris

The best person for the right answer are surely Jerry Morris itself !
