I bought this from a local nursery in Houston about 10 years ago. It has always been one of my favorites. Unfortunately I lost it one year and have never been able to find another one again.

Looks like 'Lora' to me. It's a pretty one that has been around long enough to have been found in Houston 10 years ago. We always grafted it, not sure if it roots. Here are a couple of photos I have in my files.

Yes it is Lora. I can't remember if it was grafted.

She's a beauty! I'm not sure if I have one any longer. I kind of think so but have been trying to develop easier to propagate varieties that grow better than the older ones. I have one now that is similar but not as blue called 'Joy'. Here's a photo of it.

I think I like Magic Carpet Ride better. Do you ever have Magic Carpet Ride available?
