Oh, very much so! Those are as vulgar as a certain celebrity who I
shall not mention in the interest of good taste and public decency.
However, most forms of A. blanda seem to be hybridised enough to be
classed as blowsy ....

That fails to surprise me!

And, upon a closer inspection, I am not entirely sure that my plant
really is that species, anyway :-) I may have deluded myself again.

I bought it as that, it looks rather like it, but I need an absence
of rain to inspect its flowers with a good lens. It may be what my
books call A. appennina and heaven alone knows what the botanists
call it nowadays.
