The Eric Smith Collection

16 years ago

Eric Smith crossed an early blooming Elegans [giant] with a late blooming small green named tardiflora ... should have gotten a picture of that one.. drat ...

the result was a multitude of small blues.. state of the art during the 70's i think .... in the tomes you will see TF 1 x 2 ... etc ... meaning generation and seedling number.. not sure which anymore .... if you know of any i left out.. let me know ... ken

Gorgeous. Now I'm looking at your 'Dorset Blue' and my putative 'Pacific Blue Edger' with a suspicious eye... hmmm.

Thanks for posting that Ken. It is really nice to see them together to see the difference in color. It will help in picking more than the 2 or 3 I have. McT
