Title: Lila
Post by: helixturnhelix on February 05, 2012, 11:41:20 AM
I find this one simple, but with a nice balance of lavender and white.  I am curious if you had any photos of it in cooler weather.  It looks like one that has the potential to get really dark and saturated blooms. 

If anyone has experience with this CV, I would like to hear it :)

Lila is new - if we sold any last year it was very few. I was undecided about releasing it because it is fairly small but it has a unique color, desirable parentage, and grows like a weed. I'd like to cross it back with Vin Extraordinaire and see what we get.

All our photos are from 2 days in Sept and Oct and look pretty much the same. Here is one of them.

Awesome Charlie thanks for the pic.  I like your idea of crossing back to vin e, I would also cross it to sparkling water.  Both Lila and Sparkling water sound like they are vigorous and you can still double up on Vin E genes. 

I am waiting for you to release those Moonstruck x Vin E seedlings, those look special to my eyes.
