Greg!

I just got Double Chocolate as a gift from them this year so it's newly planted but it was striking in their display garden this past spring.

Yes Sherry, I'm here until Monday. I was just checking in last night when you posted your list so I looked a few up.

I got Chestnuts Roasting last year and the bloom was lovely! It was a deep reddish brown...not quite the color in the photo I had seen (less orange than the one in the link you posted). Sorry I can't tell you much about it's growth since it had to live in a pot all year.

Gosh, I wouldn't know anything about keeping things in pots. *Someone* I live with calls it my punishment pile

Double Chocolate and Roasting Chestnuts are both gorgeous! I love the browns!

'Blended Splendid' by Burseen. It's a peachy blend.

That sounds appealing - "a peachy blend" - Where can we see it?

Great choice Sherry! Not that I am partial to Burseens or anything

Well, I left my list with all my notes in the car, so I was going by memory as to the ones I liked. I also like Itsa Whatever, Rare Coin, Show Finale and Deviliscious.. It was hard to go wrong with practically anything on the list.
