Hi Dan, that helps very much! Thank you kindly for explaining.
Dan Doucette
The flowers of argentea are larger and thicker with a different shape, almost like a flame. Spicata blooms are smaller with less dense, individual open blooms, like in your spotting. Hope that helps.
Olivia Chee
Just out of curiosity, what is the distinguishing difference between C. spicata and C. argentea?
Dan Doucette
You're welcome but I really don't think this is C. argentea.
Olivia Chee
Thanks for the suggestion, Dan! Pointed me in the right direction.
