Description: Named for a GREAT friend right here in Polkville, Bruce Martin. Bruce is quite a
character... and a big one, too! Indeed, there's quite a few
"remarks" one could say about 'ole Bruce... but the most honest one is:
Bruce is about the nicest guy one could ever hope to meet. Being new to
Polkville, Bruce and his entire family have really made me feel like a part of
the community... always there to help, to loan me what I need to make things
work, even to offer up his tractor to deliver brides in! He's quite
handy with a sheet of metal too... making my big nursery sign (twice, the first
one was stolen!), and my little garden medallions too! Bruce is
"remarkable" all right... the kinda guy that anyone in their right mind, would
look up to. Thanks for everything, Bruce! ;-)
This audacious new lavender is exquisite! Tall, large flowered
beauty... in a very deeply saturated lavender is hard enough to find, but with a
piercing green throat and wire gold edge? Divine! Lighter mauve
eyewash is a really beautiful feature as well. All this in a very hardy
dormant plant... could it be? Yes! Lavender is the very best color
for clarifying seedlings, and with so many other positive aspects (size, height,
plant habit, eyewash)... great breeder too! Tall, makes a statement,
brings a lot of joy to its neighborhood, has great kids... for sure, sounds like
Bruce all right! ;-)
