Lisa,I agree about the dwarfs. So perky at the border.

seedling SDBs. the first has too short a stem so needs work

The last one looks good here but was discarded as it would not open correctly after being moved to a different bed.

The first one may be short-stemmed, but it sure is a "looker"!...Arlyn

Lucy,those are neat

They're all lookers!!

Thank you. Not introducible though, so the hunt goes on.

Why is picture #2 not introducible?

too short a stem for the flower also. It does have pollen & since it is the color I want I have used it. No results so far. I have also used the pollen from #1. discarded #3 because of difficulty in the flower opening all the way (falls curl under). Always something in hybridizing results.

Some more Little Ones open this morning
Aqua Star and Gypsy Gem


Irish Halo

Nice soft colors Tom

Flying Solo

This NOID was left by former owners.




Flying Circus

MTBs are starting to bloom & damp weather makes pollen unusable. A lot of 'Tid Bit' going to the iris sale. It is a blue historic MTB & 1/2 the clump will still leave plenty.

Lovely garden shot, JoAnn -- a study in shades of purple!!

Look what I found!!!

And I have scapes on my TB's - of course, I expect at least a few to open this weekend while I am traveling.... ~Jan

Beauties,both.I love the names

Let the show begin!

Agree - this is a full 6 weeks later than last year. It has been a longer than normal "year"! ~Jan

Lovely! Lovely!!

...Arlyn

yes, no TBs in bloom here as yet.

Even though it's raining, I think today's photos are better than yesterdays:

And a cutting from the heirloom lilac growing at our cottage in western PA. The "mother" lilac is probably over 100 years old. This thing has been growing for 6 years, and finally bloomed - I think it overheard me threaten to chop it down if it didn't bloom this year!
