How I had a fight with a friend over a petunia

Fiery fireworks, fellow flower growers!

It is so good that breeders are constantly working and presenting us, fans of ornamental plants, with new varieties. New shapes, new colors, new design possibilities for plots and balconies. Today I will tell you how one know-how quarreled us with a friend. And I'll show you the stumbling block

A bit rude expression "Hooked on tongues"perfectly conveys the situation when I am talking with my friend Lena about a vegetable garden and a garden. And on an April evening, we sat down by the crackling fire with mugs of fragrant tea with oregano. Word for word - we are talking about floral novelties.

I remembered that I saw in the new catalog for the 2020 season a very interesting petunia hybrid - `Pretty Much Picasso`. He surprised me, of course, with a green border on pink gramophones.

And his other features are remarkable:

Petunia with an unusual color was brought out by the Japanese already in 2013. E

I learned that information much later, and in the catalog for the 2020 season "Picasso" was marked with a bright note "Supernova". It is noteworthy that the hybrid belongs to a variety series with an equally loud name "Supertunia". The Japanese themselves gave it, of course, to their pink-greenish brainchild.

`Pretty Much Picasso` can be grown as ampelous or groundcover. I liked that Japanese breeders also focused on the root system. The hybrid does not need spacious containers, like the same "Taydal", to show its best qualities. Therefore, for hanging baskets and small balcony boxes - the ideal option:

The plant impressed me! And not only me: in the same 2013 `Pretty Much Picasso` was presented at the prestigious flower exhibition in Germany, and the find won the honorary title of "Best novelty among balcony plants "!

But my friend did not agree with this. She made an argument that smashed mine to smithereens. I didn't even know what to answer her:

- Look at the photos! This border merges with the leaves. Flowers are not very expressive, they look even smaller. Not a variety, but a gray mouse!

We argued about tastes for another 10 minutes. About those who do not argue) We said everything that we think about each other's flower beds: we remembered unsuccessful combinations and mediocre ruined plants! And then we made up, of course, and laughed together. We are adults!

Did you like the Japanese hybrid `Pretty Much Picasso 'or do you agree with my friend? If yes, then please click in the answer "Thumbs up", my dears! Thank you! And to everyone, everyone who grows tomatoes themselves, I recommend urgently to look here: A neighbor taught me how to process tomato seedlings with iodine. The result is pleasing! Exact instruction
