Yes there are -- I wondered about that too, Mika.

My preference in the group is 11-94A. Just love the subtle shift in colors. All of them are lovely, though.

The one I like best is the one called '11-94?' !! Perhaps I just enjoy a mystery. Hilarious!

I was actually wondering if that is Haunted Heart among them?

What a wonderful lot of yellows and reds I missed while out of town for Easter. I like how your hand(?) is in one of the pictures to show how impressive the flower is. I can't pick a favorite though. 💛❤️

Me too, but he's probably going to do that when the weather gets cold and his work load slows down some.

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to say Hello and hope you all have had a wonderful summer it has certainly been a busy one here trying to keep up with work and beat the weeds back in the gardens and keep things watered Smiling we seem to go from no rain with extreme heat at times to hard downpours with inches in a matter of hours perfect growing conditions for weeds but hard on everything else. I am looking forward to fall and things slowing down and cooling off here, have been spending the past couple weekends digging plants and trying to fill the empty holes in the rows before we run out of safe planting time and while May was certainly disappointing the plants seem to have weathered the storm and I am looking forward to next years show. We lined out 4000+ seedlings this spring and I left the good majority of everything else in clumps for the convention the plants seem to have grown really well this season so although impossible to know what next spring will bring it looks promising today and with with any luck winter will be kind here. Crossing Fingers! and I will get my little piece of Oregon at home.



Barbara.. There will definitely be a 2016 bloom season but it will have to wait till the snow starts flying here so I can keep up with it Big Grin Not a lot to show from home but Oregon was incredible as always... I was late to the party this year as they had a early bloom season but took a lot of pictures and really enjoyed the few days I had there visiting friends and walking the rows Smiling
