Mostly SDBs, some MDBs, and a couple ABs were in bloom. The other pictures were taken with an SLR, and I should look back at that watermark thread even though I don't want too(I might post without). I really wanted to see them in person to determine how much I really wanted them.

I plan to return in May-ish, but I know I will be completely overwhelmed with the varieties and other gardens. I haven't visited The Oregon Garden yet either and I heard it's just 200 acres of displays.

I accidentally permanently added text to this one! Grumbling If it weren't for scammers out there I wouldn't have even bothered trying. This SDB is Actor.

Okay, Now I get it. I made a copy and then put on a more discreet watermark. If you want it unmarked treemail me. The SDB All is bright.

Blazing garnet but higher quality

Brash and sassy (this one was at the garden, but I took one home with me so I should get another shot)

Breathtaking (better shot)

Lovely lovely pics. I really wish my Assorted Flavors and Chicklet would bloom. They are so cute. Those guys have created amazing SDB's!!
