Yes, I am a jokester that loves gardening. We are getting more freezing rain today. I got out yesterday and took a few pics to load on FB.

South Seas. AHS info. "Tangerine coral with red coral band above yellow green throat."
I have two clumps of SS. It is a dormant. I moved one of the clump by the driveway this fall to put "Look Here Mary" in its spot. LHM is a rebloomer here. At eleven inches it should stand out there. SS has never rebloomed here, but it does bloom for a long time.

I recently ordered, 'LOOK HERE MARY' from BR. That is a real attention get er at 11 inches!

Wow.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Coral, salmon... both have "water" connotations. I think it fits! And I think both would define it perfectly. It is one of my favorites

Susan LHM reblooms here so I am sure it will do so for you.

Does anyone grow Barbara Mandrell and Betty Ford? I was wondering which was the true red and had the best plant habit.
Highest budcount?

P-29 (Sun Ball X Wide Awake), this is so different from any thing else I do
I'm trying to figure out what I have with Wide Awake that I tested it with a little of everything.
Wide Awake as a performer itself, has been disappointing here "NE Wisconsin", bought in 2007, some of the kids have been very good, all on pollen side, as it is very pod stubborn.
I do not recommend anyone go out and buy this.
