I love all of your historics! I got interested in them from a plant that my parents had at their house for years and survived neglectful gardening. I got it ID'd as Shah Jehan, Neel 1932 TB. Now, I am looking to increase my historicals. I also have Flavescens, which bloomed for me and still has one bud left to open, and Wabash, which did not bloom. Thanks to cbrandenburg, I just planted Helen Collingwood, Cherry Garden, and The Red Douglas.

I really like the idea of growing exactly the same plant that gardeners grew 50, 100, or even more years ago!

Here a picture of "the Shah," as I call him.
