I don't know what variety my purple metels are. I like the single ones though, they are pale purple by the stem, getting darker towards the rim.
Zone: This is England we don't do zones. Pick any number between 2 and 11

There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Have you got a photo of them? According to the 'Bible' they are all classified in one, the purples are D. metel var fastuosa with the yellows as D. metel var chlorantha. They can range from single to triple on the flower corolla and some can have white or pure yellow or purple. I love these due to they stay small and compact.
