Another lovely one from the same cross as my favourite yesterday, I love the pale colouring on this, another tall one at around 3ft, 7inch flowers, the throat in reality is very like yesterdays but because of the pale colouring it doesn't show up so much, diamond dusted too, a keeper do you think Wylie? :-)

I'm really wondering whether this has been mislabelled I must see if I can find the seed list the seed came from, don't know if its just me but I can't find a 'Forsyth Flaming Sword' listed on Tinkers or AHS just 'Forsyth Flaming Snow'? and this looks very similar to Flaming Snow mmmm.
I prefer yesterdays too but do like this one, even though its not a wow :-)

I went to the website of LeFever who does the "Forsyth" series, and there was no mention of it, either.
If you like it, and it is in line with what you are trying to do, you should keep it. The thing that will eventually come up is space, and what you will have room for next year. I will be getting rid of a lot I kept from last year because they don't fit the direction I'm trying to go.

Yes I really need to think what I'm really aiming for, while I love the shape of this I had another open today with similar colouring and even bigger flowers from a different cross.
Must check that seed list :-)

I must have been having a moment !! I found the seed packet for this cross, keep them all as they have e-mails for seed donators , and it is Flaming Snow!!

Some people really go after the diamond dusting. I like the more distinct colours of the other, but this can be used to add size to something.
