I have about 54 different kinds of itohs (and a Bartzella hedgerow - a great idea which I hope more people will copy!) Stella Blue and his collection are a huge inspiration for me - thanks! Here 'Strawberry Blush', 'Sonoma Welcome', 'Gordon E. Simonson' and 'Love Affair'.Wow, I really love GES's color! So gorgeous! Does Love Affair get fuller than this pic?

Halo at the flower bed of Adelman.
Semi-double of Yedo (back) with Lemon chiffon (front) and other peonies (Flowers from this year's APS exhibition):
Frankly speaking, I am not much into Halo, I feel its flower is too flat, like a big plate and a bit too shrinked.
