Toronto is easily my favorite of that color type, Polly. It's a strong grower here, as well. It has so many of the good qualities of it's pollen parent, Decadence, but none of its faults. Here is what it looks like on a sunny day


Another good variety of this color type is Brilliant Disguise (also a Thomas Johnson creation)

Thank you, Kent! Both are just lovely.

Amen to that.

Barbara has a new one out called Jerico Springs that I saw in California it was Outstanding she is really coming out with some nice looking flowers and hardy too coming from the MIdwest. Here are some more to consider that I liked this year.

Hello Darkness

Bohemia After Dark And Midnight Passion are sure nice ones. Love it when that beard stands out.

Makes you want to go out and till all the ground you can and plant, but WAIT that means weeding and more weeding next year. Not fair!

Thank you all as it has increased the the pool for hybridizing.

Did you get any pictures of Jerico Springs, Brad? The only place I've ever seen it was in the Rockytop catalog. It's another child of Fabulous One, btw.

Kent I did not get any good ones of it, I was on a bus tour for that part and only had a hour and a half there at his ranch and I got stuck in Joes seedlings
