Carl,
Noting that you live in an area that is surrounded by D.Anglica and
D.linearis, have you had success raising these two species? I have also
wondered if there was a difference in appearance between the north American
D.Anglica and the U.K. D.Anglica? The D.Anglica in Donald Schnell's book,
C.P. of The US and Canada looks more spread out whereas D.Anglica in Roger
Phillips, Wild Flowers of Britain looks more upright. I think they are two
different species! Donald Schnell pokes holes in the theory that D.Anglica
world wide is D.linearis x D.rotundifloia because of the lack of D.linearis
in other parts of the world. It seems that D.A.xD.R. is sterile.
