You are lucky to start with a very nice dormant type.

Thankyou glad you like it :-)
I had another open today Wylie, well not fully yet but enough to see its a wrong plant :-(, should be 'Wild and Wonderful' but clearly isn't, know we all make mistakes but the annoying thing is its the second time I've ordered this from the same seller, first time I had the plant identified as 'String Bikini', was offered my money back but decided to keep it as it is was lovely, ordered it again when I saw him advertise it again this year, and have the same plant again !!!!!!

My German seller said that he gets wrong plants from the 'big' name hybridizers in the States, 1 or 2 in every order. He refunded my money and told me to keep the plant when there was a mix-up over Jerry Pate Williams, and I got Moses' Fire; but this year as a bonus plant, he sent J.P.W.

Yes I remember when I got the first wrong plant the seller said he'd imported them and put them for sale before seeing them bloom.
Thats great customer service :-), your seller is on my favourites I'm just running out of space!!!!! :-))

I got a message today from my German seller saying that he discovered an error in the plant he sent as a bonus. He had sent 'Ageless Beauty', but it opened for him because now he says it is 'New Quest', and even sent a picture! Ageless Beauty is nice, but New Quest is great - along the double edge lines of John Benoot.

You lucky thing Wylie just looked at New Quest on Tinkers its lovely, and you're lucky enough to have the weather to show that fabulous edge :-)), very nice of your seller to let you know too :-)
