  • Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Aug 28, 2014 6:51 AM concerning plant:
    Grown in a pot here as its hardiness is listed as Z8 - 10. This is a greenish-flowered cultivar about a foot tall. Purportedly, a long-lasting cut flower in water.
    The pot was blown over in recent storms, but the plant seems basically unperturbed by said juxtaposition of its world. Hoping for a bloom before summer's end.
