What is eveyone's favorite European semps? There are some great cultivar I have found, and i was wondering which ones everyone else loves. I am super excited to see how my 'Orange Glow' I got from @SpringColor does this year.

That is a tough question Nathaniel. For me it would depend upon what day of the week it was and the season. There are so many great ones.
I think it has warmed up enough for me to go for a stroll around the raised beds and see what stands out this morning. Big Grin

I can't wait to have enough to do that. I'd love to take a stroll to see what stands out today to me.

I sure wish you were coming to the clinic this year. Between my place, Kevin's place and Perennial Obsession you could stroll through many thousands of cultivars and seedlings.

Yep, I have a favorite one day while working in the beds just to find another the next time weeding. After I pull the covers of I walk the beds regularly in the morning while having my coffee.

It is such a good feeling to finally be able to do the morning walk. Never thought about taking my coffee out with me. Hmmm, may have to give that a try.

I'm an old hag, they look once and are blinded. Yard is some what screened.
Took a few pictures of Euros and some of our very own USA hybrids.
First is Ticked Pink. It was one that I obsessively wanted. Very disappointed, rotter.

Julia your 'Tickled Pink' will bounce back with warmer days and less rain. That one rosette is showing awesome color, it really is a stunning semp. 'Cream Tea' is lovely and doesn't seem to have been bothered by record rains this year.

Just came in from all day gardening. It was so beautiful today. The sun sure was intense today, not hot, just to much light for photos. I should start using an umbrella.
Here is 'Jet' and 'Lemon Kiss' today.

'Cool Breeze' has come through winter like we never had rain.


'Essence of Lime' is starting to wake up, I see color starting. Hurray!


'Nobbe' another one that isn't bothered by all the rain.


And a parting photo of spring in the garden, daffodils with S. 'Pink Red Teena' as the sun is starting to go down. Way over exposed, but I love the colors.

Spring is getting close. Hurray!

OMG You girls are making me laugh but I am so envious of the time you get to spend with your plants.
Right now this corona virus has got me shipping colloidal silver machines 12 hrs every day (yes 7 days a week). I run out to check if any semps need water, say quick Hi and back to shipping. All I can say is that this virus scare had better be over by clinic time. Did notice today that Leopold is super black, and the Cheese one that I got from Trixi is multiplying nicely. I think it is the same one you have Lynn. Gotta get back to work . Can't wait for April. Group hug
