There's been so much discussion about 'Bulletproof' on this thread and there is no "daily" thread for it. Therefore, I decided to post the updated 2012 picture here rather than start a "daily" for 'Bulletproof.

This has done well for me, showing growth. (And I have more in my 'touch of Class').

A slight change of direction. I got this Touch of Class from Chris in 2008. Each year as it gets bigger the "yellow" center gets thinner. I didn't pay any attention to it until I was in another garden and saw a very large plant with a very thin yellow center and I asked the owner what it was. He said Touch of Class. I could see the similarity to mine. Has any noticed Touch of Class doing this as it matures?
