I actually like their second and third seedlings the best, especially the golden bitone -- the clump shot of that one looks fabulous. If you check their website they post pictures of seedlings every year, and I see that the third one (broken colored gold tones) is one of those. I'm not sure about the gold bitone -- it may be there too. I'll have to check the seedling numbers again. They update their seedling pictures every year, and they just keep getting better and better!

Sue, I'm so glad you could make that trip to Napa Country and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your pictures!

I think Heart's On Fire is awfully nice too! Thanks for the wonderful enabling photos Sue! Smiling

I just went back and looked again, and I am going to have to add Inky Icon to my list! And those are some of the best photos of Poem of Ecstasy I have ever seen.
