    With regard to That's All Folks, dug at Longs, Boulder. My first year blooms are 6"! Enormous! I might be missing something, but I find it interesting bloom size. Is there a place to post that statistic?

    Second question. On this website it states hybridizer as Marriott and Ghio? But on Marriott's site, I noticed only his name credited. Is there a controversy? Thank you for a super fun and helpful resource. Judy Denver
