Although 'Margarita BOP' photographs nicely, I can't help but always feel a little disappointed. The flowers have a nice blue, but it's only in parts, and there are distinct reddish purple patches, which I feel mar the beauty of the flower. It's likely that I would never feel this way except that the unceremoniously named 'Blue Bedder' P. heterophyllus that I grew in California was a solid, electric blue, sort of like those electric blue cichlid fish from Africa. 'Margarita BOP's advantage is its cute name. "BOP" supposedly stands for "Bottom of Porch" which I imagine was apparent after drinking too many margaritas and falling off said porch. So, despite Margarita BOP's insufficiencies, it gets an entry of its own, and even gets an excuse to depart from my usual format because it photographs so nicely. Didn't I just say that?
