Leopard's Print is number 30. The first ones to bloom never have as many spots as the later ones, so I'll take newer ones later when there's more spots. But he's cute this way too.

And since it's too wet to mow, I'm heading over to the garden center to get some plants for the veggie garden, and what ever else I find that I can't live without! Smiling

very nice. I have only had nine cultivars bloom so far; but I don't have very many SDBs like you do. My guess is that I will have 5 to 10 new varieties in bloom today. I need to take a picture from the second floor vantage point. "Marris" will be putting on a HUGH show as I counted 42 bloom stalks on it!!!!!!

I am glad Overcast and Tahoma are doing well for you, Tom. I did not get pictures of either one blooming here because they bloomed early during the week of rain and the flowers were beaten down a bit and mud splattered. They look happy in your garden. smiles
