You're absolutely right, Lynn. Congratulations!

I'll be contacting you soon with a short interview and a request for your favorite flower.

Thanks for your submission, Duane. You were a tad later than Lynn. I was looking mainly for the cultivar name. However, since 1) you gave the complete name and 2) you have posted a large number of photos on this website, I'd be interested in knowing if you have a favorite blossom. If so, and if you'd like to share it, I'll include it in the my "What's blooming in October" article.

Does it have to be blossoming in Oct.? And--- I have to narrow it to just one? I like so many.

The bloom can be from any time of year. I think most gardeners who grow lots of blooming plants have a hard time coming up with a single favorite. I count myself among them. How about one spring bloomer, one summer bloomer, and one fall bloomer?
