Ok.. add Patchwork Puzzle and Samba Queen to my wish list...

Brad, I'm really floored by your beautiful seedlings. I'd happily grow any of them. I sincerely hope that you are planning on introducing these. If you need a trial garden in California, I'd like to volunteer. nodding

I had a lot that didn't bloom this past Spring that I'm looking forward to, but here are some that I like that did bloom:

'Smart Money' & Spring Bliss

Law enforcement, Teresa. It was a tragic week in Texas and our communities are doing what they can to show concern and support. Although I generally prefer flowers for an avatar, I might put one up sometime for MS (which I have) but orange--the representative ribbon for this condition--is not reeeeally my favorite color. Hilarious!

Debra,
Several times I've read your Green Amber Gardens site. You are an amazing lady. Are you going to start some new beds for the law enforcement officers which were killed this past week? If you are I'd be happy to donate some Iris (or the cost) for you to start another bed(s).
