Still, it's a nice color and is growing on me. Who knows, if your dahlia example is an indication, they could be pink next year.<br /><br />I was speculating, these are probably tissue culture. Maybe in the tissue culture process they lost the bigger petals and the pink color. Regardless, it adds some variety to my boprder.<br /><br />Another zuk today! Squashes are growing like crazy!<br /><br />I don't know what I would do in your shoes, when it comes to water. There are some solar based devices for collecting water from the air. I imagine at a garden-level, they would be way to expensive and might take a lot of room. Graywater? Only good for so much water, too.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-18768143587345793682015-07-01T11:44:16.813-07:002015-07-01T11:44:16.813-07:00Daring Deception? LOL wow and you bough it still?...Daring Deception? LOL wow and you bough it still? It told you out right it won't come true to name. The purple gene is more dominate then the pink gene so the pink disappear/covered up. Its the same case in dahlia. I have a white with purple streaks, some yr it will be all purple, no white and then some yrs half and half very freaky. Still a nice interesting daylily it may still revert back hopefully. <br />See here is the plain wrong dahlia that creeps up from nowhere one day<br />http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b499/lancegreen1/DSC02949_zpsi7q1ot0c.jpg<br /><br />Here is the true to label variety of what it suppose to look like which is a predominantly a white flower with purple streaks, not purple <br />http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b499/lancegreen1/DSCF0156_zpsfutzlmvt.jpg<br /><br />By the way your zuk looks good. I'm already in the giving away mode. <br />My peaches is still small. Apple did poorly this yr with out a good rain, things are very dry here and we got a water usage warning from the water dept we lost water credit and will be bill at a higher cost if we go over the quota which will translate to higher then gas rate. All my gardener friend is living in fear and hope the season will turn out OK because we just can't stop cold turkey just not planting anything new. No new tree for now.<br />lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.com
