| I bought it at Canada Blooms in a package marked Lady Darlene. The more I look at it, it appears that it was mislabelled when I purchased it. Stung again !@#$% :( It does resemble the Blackberry Ripple, but unless I am positive, it is yet another NO ID. |

| Beautiful work Jroot. My favorites are the pristine white and the golden yellow with reddish center. |

| It's the wrong color for Lady Darlene-- that one's a dark blend of yellow with red around the edges & it's the wrong form for Raspberry Ripple-- it's a semi-cactus- it could be Lady Marie though-- or it looks kind of like Purple Splash -- an oldie Waterlily |

| I agree with you plantlady2008. It is definitely not Lady Darlene. I thought the petals didn't look the same as Raspberry Ripple either, but my eyes are beginning to fail me ( no pun intended ). I am so disappointed that I did not obtain what I had purchased in Lady Darlene, as I think it is really attractive. My wife is not very fond of the one in question, and it will probably be composted this coming fall. Maybe I can get a proper Lady Darlene from a more reliable source, next time. |

| JRoot, I'd happily take your clump of any of the three bottom ones (I think you are saying you're getting rid of the bottom one, which looks like my Blackberry Ice...which isn't doing great.) If you'd like to swap tubers with either of the bottom two, I can send you my variety list (48) for you to pick from. Cheers,
Russ |
