Additional information about some of the offerings on BX 181

For what it's worth, the Doutt form of M. pustulata that I keep sending
to the BX also emerges with a purple leaf, similar to the photo on
Paul's blog:

(Scroll halfway down).
I'm convinced that cool weather during emergence will intensify the
purple color.

Here is some information that Paul Cumbleton sent that I forgot to include
in the original BX listing. This info applies to Paul's donations 33-39.
There were a couple of points I forgot to say in my last email:;
1. The purple colour on the purple-leafed M. pustulata does not show in the
first, and sometimes second year after germination when the seedlings will
be green. But it should show the year after.
2. I cannot guarantee they will be true to type - though I hand pollinated
them, the bees also had access to the house so there is a chance some of the
forms have cross-pollinated
Dell, for Paul
