I believe I remember from the past that you grow L. sprengeri. This week I've had something flowering, on a foot high stalk, six blooms, that is much like the one you sent to the wiki, but more in pink shades with blue only on the ends of the petals. Tried to pollinate this, but I'm wondering if any one knows if they are self-fertile? Cynthia W. Mueller College Station, Texas
