Mary Ann - There are many more out there too. In Burseen's alone there are many more, and Sutton has quite a few too.

I missed this thread yesterday as I was in the garden all day, planted a conifer, 3 roses, 3 shrubs, an iris, a daylily, moved large rocks and filled up 2 yard waste cans, a good day!

I love this category and several more went on my wish list, I really need Runaround Sue! If anyone finds a source let me know. nodding

Yeah, my back tells me I over did it, as usual. nodding

My first space ager and an excellent rebloomer, I have a bloom open right now, the 4th one in the past couple of weeks.

Praetorian Guard is beautiful. I don't know why it isn't on my wishlist but it's going there now.

Sue, Group hug to you and your back. I feel your pain!

I don't have very many of these, but I do have a few, of course Thornbird. When I first saw this one's picture I though who'd want this, then a friend of mine got it and when I saw the bloom I thought Oh, I like it.

Star Dock This is supposed to have big flounces, but it only has horns here so far.

Celia, if you want some I will share with you. I have two clumps.

Don't worry--we don't grow it either. I enjoy it in other gardens.
