ULTIMATE FANTASY doubled one day this past summer and was a knockout!

Good to know that Ultimate Fantasy has the big-size as a dominant
trait. I could find some uses for that.

Nicoles 2013's are now up. Looks like I have to get another "Ima". LOVE "Ima Masterpiece". I'm looking carefully at her other stuff also. I think I have to have Sheika and So Irresistable also.

Last Springs Intros were so good I was waiting to see how this year compared. I would say she has out done herself. Absolutely Stunning!

I would have to pick Ima Masterpiece too.

I just emailed and reserved mine for spring ya hoooo.

Decisions, decisions

I think I may order the whole collection BUT I was trying to see what others (Trimmer, Petit, Pete Harry, Floyd Cove) were going to have for their 2013s but they haven't gotten theirs up yet. Petit had said theirs would be up last Sat, but it didn't happen so I don't know when it will be ready.

I'm waiting too, Michele, some flowers in the intros I like, some I don't.
As you said, decisions, decisions. I might choose a few flowers from
each hybridizer instead of whole collections, although that may cost
more considering the additional shipping.

I always pick and choose because I wouldn't want to have some I don't like. I think their shipping rates are very reasonable because they ship such big plants, plus extras.

I wish that IMA Masterpiece didnt have that funky petal. I thought some of the fall flowers were nicer than the spring. Im looking for an awesome pink or fushia.

I'd bet that the petal fluff will only be an ocassional thing. I have several seedlings that do this and named ones too. I personally like it but it only happens for me about 1 out of ten blooms and some, just once a season.

I'm having a hard time picking my favorites. They are all soooooo great. (I know, I lovem' all) But, I reallly like:

Moon's Reflection
Just a Wish
I can't Stop
Pink Freeze ----is really calling to me and I'm hoping I'm not going back to pink again but it looks huge and I love pink!

Burning For You
Louder Than Thunder are two that I'll probably get.

I'm getting into the eye thing that is etched, marked, designs with many colors and such but with that, I like crossing those with the great big solids to see what happens. So, Pink Freeze would look tremendous with a many colored eye. Then Sheike is so WHITE, I can only imagine it with an eye that has 10 colors. I guess I'll always be one that has many things going on at one time. I can not be happy with all Orange or all Red or all Purple. But I still want some of them because I like the many colors of each.

I saw the funky petal also on seedlings and registered plants.
They would bloom once like that, but mostly have correct blooms. I thought
it might be weather related.

Michele,

You can always reserve the ones you really want, then if you decide that you want the whole collection, you can change your mind before spring. That way you wouldn't lose out on any that might be more popular.

Good choices Mona. Are you still going to get Can't Touch This?

These are the ones I am getting next spring.

Yippee, just won Can't Touch This from Michele, so one off my list.

I would like to see what this one is -

I googled hemerocallis spd 06-16 and its what is registered as Key Largo Moon

From reading the descriptions on the Patent, it sounds like a new and improved Stella. I wish them luck. It would be nice to know that someone in the this business actually found a plant to make money on.

It states that the scape is to be short to provide for ease in shipping, which to me, would be a landscape plant to be used in mass.

Dot, I'm still giving "Cant Touch This" a lot of thought but if I buy "I Can't Stop", I will probably wait until "Can't Touch This" is a bunch cheaper.
