Hello everyone, long time no write - pc got a virus but I am back at
last. :-)

I'm a bit confused at the moment. I bought some trailing lobelia plugs
from Wilco's and potted them on, as you do. The label said they were
mixed and with this I assumed this just meant that each plant when in
flower would be a different colour and they would vary between pale
blue, dark blue, magenta and white. I quite liked the idea of pot luck
and taking the lucky dip style of planting out, not knowing what I
would get and not being able to colour coordinate the baskets, tubs as
I usually do each year.

Imagine my surprise when the plants began to flower and have two or
three different colours to each plant! One plant has white, dark blue
and magenta flowers. Am I to understand that mixed colours now means
quite literally that you get different colour flowers on one plant?
When / how long ago did this come about? I must've been asleep I
think.

~Any comments gratefully appreciated

from a very confused Gail!
