I got off to a very slow start, but I've rapidly been picking up speed and believe I've now placed just about my last order for the spring.

I received four plants from Floyd Cove Nursery in the fall and I'm absolutely dying to see the blooms this spring!

Sounds reasonable to me.

I love it when someone speaks my language.....lol. We should start a new topic:

The wisdom of Betty

My kinda smarts!

I bought 3 so far.
I added two more Heir To The Throne, and Absolute Ripper, I'm looking at a few more, and I think I have a few swaps worked out for a few more.

I was told that A R could put teeth on a non toothy plant, I plant to find out, I was also told it leans so I will have to look for strong scape plants

Gorgeous choices, Ed! Do you know if Jamie Gossard is going to post his own introductions for 2017 on his website? I'd sure love to see them!

ing over those new ones everyone's ordering.

Meanwhile, I'm sorta stuck in the past and hung up on doubles. Ordered 4 older CVs the other day.

Layers of Gold
Siloam Double Classic
Thing of Beauty
Two to Tango

Very Nice collection of new plants everyone.
I'm too !

@Ahead, Steve where in IL is your garden located ?

Betty he said that his plants will be listed soon, I have a feeling I'm not done buying yet

Ahh I knew Betty would come through... make me and james seem less crazy..

Yeah but you're still totally the champ, Peter -- Whoever orders the most wins, right? So I'm definitely in third or fourth or fifth place so far. James?... Steve?... Maybe we should award a medal or something...

You have to be a close 3rd... Very close.

Lol, I'd say let's award a metal.. but I can't afford to pitch in... I bought too many plants.

This is funny! The battle for the "not sane" friend award.



Not gonna vote, but let me say that I love having you BOTH as friends.....lolol. That may not be a compliment...haha.

The money I save on medication I can put into the garden...lol.

I think @jwwc is winning since he technically has no where to put all his new plants.... And boxes with his name on them keep showing up at my house!

I have close to 80 acres, James. Just sayin'

I see that Heavenly Gardens (Jamie Gossard) has now posted their 2017 diploid introductions and will post their tets and more next week. They always have such beautiful introductions!

Thanks, Betty! I am looking to add Cliffjumper. The colors look fantastic and the size of 9" is incredible!

I think that should be Cliffjumper. It is beautiful and very impressive with that large a bloom, but for me the bloom is not as large as the price!
