If you are anything like me, you spend what might be deemed as a considerable amount of time admiring and researching plants. After all, that’s what brought us together here at ATP. The All-America Selections have been made for 2013 and include some wonderful plants to consider for the year.

Great article Tee.
I will definitely be watching out for plants of Echinacea hybrida 'Cheyenne Spirit' this spring. I would love to have a more compact echinacea.

Dear Evan, the plant is Iris reticulata and it is blooming now. It is bulbous and small, not a rhizome.
Glad you like it as we love them.
Regards Neil.
p.s a Tulip out now.
