Good morning to all from sunny NH where it's going to be a nice day except that the humidity is going to creep up again. I have to start digging some plants today so I hope it doesn't get too bad.
Betty I must have been brain dead last night as the picture that I labeled as SISTER OF PRAISE is not that, it is SYMPHONY OF PRAISE. SISTER OF PRAISE has been done blooming for a couple of weeks but SYMPHONY OF PRAISE still has a couple of buds to go plus there is a rebloom scape coming so this one may be one of the last to bloom in my garden. Here's a pic of SYMPHONY OF PRAISE that I just took out in the garden. Another thing that I love about this flower is the size, it must be 7" or more, really does put on a show. So Betty, since this one is an evergreen maybe it would do OK for you in CA. I like SYMPHONY OF PRAISE much better than SISTER OF PRAISE. It's a much better plant, for me anyways and it will get my vote for the Stout medal this year
It's depressing to see how few blooms are left but it's just as well for me as I have to start digging them all up.
