Right! Just get all of them that you can and see it this problem continues.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Such good advice, and from an expert no less! Yes, I think that is my plan. grins

MDB Velvet Toy reblooms in some areas (especially colder ones which is unusual). Here as it is part the species I. aphylla, it drops its leaves before fall bloom.

I don't have a V, so I chose Vow of Silence. It would look great next to Rustler.

Mary - there aren't as many V's so 3 is cheating!

Love that color combo Celia!

Hello! My name is Viper and I am an IB with horns. Only been in the ground 4 months so no bloom yet, but I am getting bigger and stronger all the time with the help of my little buddy Quench, on one side of me, and my girl Vuneta Krisle on the other (sadly they missed the photo op).

They say I will look something like this in the spring:

I have Vow of Silence, but can't remember what I put next to it, and that's a bed I didn't get mapped so I guess I have to wait until the snow melts.

I have Vapor, thanks to Mary Ann, but just got it last summer too.
