Arlene, last year was my first with FI. So I really can't say whether the coloring on mine was "normal." Except for the third photo, all the blooms had just a bit of lavender tint and the petals were outlined. After a while they all went open-centered with that big ugly yellow eye. I didn't know if the tubers would carry this characteristic to the following year, so I threw them away and bought new ones. The on-line photos show a wide range of coloring.

Gary, I just might go back to that garden center and show them they can't make me buy Stripped Vulcan, Emory Paul and Sir Alf Ramsey.

Mary, I hope you get some great weather this spring to get all those plants set out. Around here you never know what to expect. After the heavy frost in June a couple years ago, I no longer take even late May planting for granted.
