Baptista - New and Old

This is a new variety of baptista - I think it is Twilight Prairieblues.  It has a ton of blooms and is a vase-shaped plant.
This is the common variety of baptista - it doesn't have as many blooms.  They are a darker purple than the new variety.  Baptistas get to be quite large - plan to have about 6 feet of space in the garden for them.  They don't like to be moved!  After they are done blooming, the foliage stays in a nice mounded shape.
