Neutral MikenMyrtle On Apr 22, 2007, MikenMyrtle from Myrtle Beach, SC wrote:

Quandary was a standout in its first year here: sturdy stalks, lots of big blooms with unique color. This year the flowers are considerably smaller on a single stalk. This is one of the earliest bloomers in Zone 8, and it's been a mild winter. Perhaps it needs a colder season before it to perform its best.
