I had that pale blue, lost it, and keep buying more but they're the green form that I've been hoping will grow up to be blue. Guess not. I do like isthmensis and colorata. And wouldn't you know they'd change franzosinii's name? What an effort this was -- thank you!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048985060349929026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-85898756503537569072015-02-11T11:23:36.495-08:002015-02-11T11:23:36.495-08:00Yes and no.
