Jim
I repeat, we have a strain of P. lactiflora that boith has beautiful
flowers and is a reliable prolific bloomer in the Medit. Bay Area where
we rarely get more than a short mild frost.
Dear Paul,
With literally thousands of selections and many more hybrids,
I do not doubt this for a moment. Do you know what lactiflora you
have? Is it a straight selection or a hybrid, named variety? It
should be spread around as many milder climate gardeners really
crave large flowered lactiflora types.
The real Q, do the flower stems fall down in the first rain ?
Best Jim W.
