Phil, somehow I had missed your post #6- it was like a gift this morning! Such gorgeous plants. I recently got a small Applause from Marie

and I hope it grows up to be like the beautiful specimen yours is. Also, your Glen Roof has the best colored markings I've ever seen. Ron has a beautiful one with similar beautiful markings. Both yours are better than the few others I've seen for some reason. That's why I love seeing everyone's plants. It seems some are better clones than others.
You seem to have a tendency toward pink in your garden? Do you think that's true? If so, what do you attribute it to? I know you use a lot of recycled mulch, right? And Kmag? What brand of the 0-0-0-20 do you use?
Your Polychrome is gorgeous. So much pink color. I believe yours gets a decent amount of sun? How much does it get throughout the day?
So many questions. Sorry. I am really trying hard to get cultural tips from all of you.
