IMO (and you know what they say about opinions lol) We breed more for color and for ability to cope in more difficult/marginal climates like Brisbane and Sydney. While the Hawaiians truly excel at leaf form (your junos are to die for) and minis. Your conditions are so good for cords that you get better color and more lush growth. I've seen Willy's Gold grown "hard" and the colors are bleached, the leaves don't have that sexy slightly undulating droop, nothing like how they grow in optimal conditions. I'm bidding on a new Hawaiian right now. HeeHee. 'Akala Ahu. Do you know it? These are three I got a few weeks ago. Do you know these guys? More Hawaiians! Ann Wailua Purple Ke'anae Purple Dr. Frank Brown Here's a little Aussie. Twister. ps I read the Blog article, very nice! Is there a place where in the future we could find all the blog articles together? This message was edited Jan 26, 2009 8:14 PM |
