Title: Snow Storm and Foxy lady Post by: Nievesgirl on February 01, 2010, 05:51:47 PM Charlie is there anything else I need to know ?
I just bought a 6" pot can't wait My spring shipping includes some like it hot , silver dragon, snow storm, foxy lady , electric orange , and black cherry I got Foxy lady because of the parents ;) I had monsterrat before and it was a nice plant. Strobe looks pretty need. Charlie do you have any pictures of strobe ? Title: Re: Snow Storm and Foxy lady Post by: Charlie on February 01, 2010, 08:20:29 PM Those are all very nice cultivars, Kerry. Good range of colors and nice upright plants. Snow Storm and Black Cherry are grafted versions.
Strobe was a Schlueter cv that he sent me wood of years ago saying it was good for hybridizing. It's been lost now but before it bit the dust I did some crosses with it and it also sported into a brown version of its purple flower. Below are photos of the 2 forms of Strobe together.

Title: Re: Snow Storm and Foxy lady Post by: Charlie on February 03, 2010, 01:04:51 PM White Diamonds at its best is a cool little flower, very unique, but on average Snowstorm is bigger, bluer, and has a much better bush.

Title: Re: Snow Storm and Foxy lady Post by: Charlie on February 03, 2010, 08:35:23 PM Did you have Lavender Ice? It was cutey but did not grow much and would not be able to come back from any kind of setback very easily. The other parent of White Diamonds was Topanga if memory serves. I had one still alive last summer and hope its still there. It was also a mini but quite nice. Larry Johnson cv.
