Hi all,

   I managed to get myself a Winter Lights in this last store update.  It looks to have a good bush that makes a lot of flowers.  Anyone already have one?  What do you guys have to say about it?  Charlie, anything else you could tell us about this cv?

Winter Lights is so new that I don't have a lot to say other than it does grow into a very attractive, very well branched bush that creates the possibility of lots of flowers. In my opinion the flowers are often prettier than those currently displayed on the web site, often showing more color than those photos. It's not a large flower but is sure a pretty flower, and the better than average bush is a bonus.

I will be sure to let you know how it does for me.  I bought WL because the flowers almost seem to glow in the photos on the website... if they're even better than what's shown well that's a huge bonus!

Jordan I really like WL alot too, please let us know how it does!  I bought too much this stocking, so I couldn't get myself to buy it, but I really want to grow it in the same pot as My Blue Heaven, or maybe graft a plant with those two varieties.  They both have the same form and size rage, but are in contrasting colors.  That would be such a cool bush with those two varieties!

I did managed a My blue heaven, it was touch and go for a bit.  It was really wilted for a week after I got it, but it looks great now!  I'll post a pic as soon as there is more memory on the forum:)

Oh yes pix please!  I tried today too and forgot about the lack of photo space left.

Yes I hope that this will be fixed in a week because I have some that are going to bloom soon Smiley  CDLC and Black Cherry are two.  Looks like Cindy's Heart, RRG, and Acapulco Gold are too!

Can't wait to see it, Chris. I ordered one Saturday (?) and of course it's going to be a while before a 4" cv blooms. Your pic will help hold me over Smiley

Sorry guys, I got caught up in this difficult overseas shipment and forgot to remind Cindy about this problem of photo space. She has the message now and is starting to look into it so I suspect it will be fixed sometime tomorrow if not sooner.
