Great pics as usual Ron.

Interesting that the two forms grow together. Surely that means that they can cross with each other. Wonder if the crosses look either one way or the other or if you can get something in between.

They tend to flower across a rather wide spectrum of color, the stems varying from deep purple to pale lavender to yellow or yellow-green, with flowers that are not quite so variable, but do show different amounts of purple color, clear evidence, I think, of the fact that they are interbreeding and and are not distinct varieties, but only color forms.
