My Cher and Here Come The Clowns get my vote!

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

The Clowns amazed me when it opened. I don't know what I was expecting but the bloom exceeded expectations.

My Cher is very pretty but also very hard to capture in pictures.

I just love the colors in Celtic Faerie.

Iris Sisters really gave me some great bonuses last year. She sent Here Come The Clowns and Replicator as dwarf bonuses.

Cindy - Persona is a minature tall bearded, and a very beautiful one too! Stick around this group though and you will soon have many dwarfs! They multiply easily so are traded often!

Many of you are on your first bloom of the SDBs. We're getting rebloom.

Sugar Maple-very good rebloomer for us.
Bad photo, but it does show a Sugar Maple stalk with a branch.

Baby Blessed-reliable rebloom for us.

Private First Class-It's first bloom, but way past the main SDB bloom.

What Again-still short, but it's blooming.

Sunstrip and Mini Dragon are blooming but I didn't get a good photo (yet).

Sunstrip-this was before it was fully opened.
