Amber - Spacecoast Better Late looks fabulous in your garden.

Char - That clump shot of Delta Phase is astounding!

The Dominator started reblooming yesterday. The first bloom on the scape was exactly 8 inches!

Final Touch is still bud building. This is the first time I can remember bud counts in the 30s on it.

Thanks Debra, all the clumps in that bed are huge...I have just started digging some of them out (where's the aching back emogie??). Dreading the clump of Swallow Tail Kite in the middle, must be at least 100 fans.... D'Oh! D'Oh! why did I let it get so big....

The Dominator looks fabulous! Shelby always reminds me of one of my long gone shelties, her name was Shelby.

Pretty seedling Hilary, beautiful ruffles Thumbs up

It was supposed to bloom early midseason, and I thought I wouldn't see a flower this year. Glad I was wrong!

Raven, the Blue Abyss cross sdlg is lovely. Wide petals and sepals, nicely recurved, pretty edge too. Thumbs up

No images today, I did notice Alone Again, The Dream Society, Spirit of the Adventure, Sunset Mesa, and Pee Wee's Big Adventure and a few sdlgs were open today. A few others were stuck part way open...it was only 46 degrees this morning.
