Dear Jane; Ipheion 'Rolf Fiedler' and 'Froyle Mill' are kind of iffy for me and I think I have lost both this winter, but Charlette Bishop, Wisley And Especially 'Alberto Castillo' are wonderful and vigorous. I'd love to get a good blue with vigor. Both 'Jessie' and Ranunculus kochii are on the Dix list Thanks Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
