These are my favorits today, but tomorrow I might list a whole different bunch!

I only chose from those I've seen so far. Maybe I should also list the ones I'm most looking forward to.

I have several for which I am awaiting maiden blooms.

Captain's Choice
2 pallidas, one of which is Variagata
Earl of Essex
Jurassic Park
Witch's Wand
Kaligazam
Swept Off My Feet

Full Tide was a surprise last year. I'd had it and forgot I had it. It bloomed and is gorgeous.
