AKA "Cow Slobber," named for the gelatinous fluid that comes from the stem when you cut them. They grow in abundance in these parts, and I always leave the far back of my garden untrimmed until they've finished, as I have several hundred back there. Mine range from a pretty-in-pink to a deep purple and I've seen them in an off white shade too. http://sonc.com/look/?p=1874 On Sun, Jul 12, 2015 at 8:31 PM, Bernard Quinn <bjq1 at mac.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Jim! > > Barney > > Barney Quinn, WK3Z > C: (301) 775-1386 > H: (301) 654-0938 > > > On Jul 12, 2015, at 7:53 PM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > wrote: > > > > Beautiful color, Barney. > > > > Jim Nichols > > Tullahoma, TN USA > > > >> On 7/12/2015 5:53 PM, Barney Quinn wrote: > >> Dragon Wort.
