I remember liking 'First Prize' when I was up at Superstition the Spring before last.. I'm still sick that they're not going to introduce my favorite blue one though..

I was looking over their list tonight ( and that's the reason I'm up so late)... Must slim it down.. but there are a couple of historics I've wanted for a few years that I always seem to add to the list too late. And there are a couple of new intros I like .. and too many others.. What's a girl to do? Whistling

You only live once Sherry, just buy what you like if you have the money and time to care for them, that's what I say. Whistling

I agree

I think you would be very hard pressed to find anyone on here who would disagree with that? Big Grin

From my visit in 2015... this was a standout and was just a seedling number then.. 'First Prize'
I'll be ordering it this year.. of course!

YIKES !!!!!!

I made a BIG FAT ERROR and no one caught it. I called the last 2017 Tasco intro as "First Strike" rather than the correct "First Prize". The description had the correct name, but I had started out the entry with the "strike". Roger caught it. Confused D'Oh!

Sorry to anyone who got their "signals" "crossed". (pun intended)

I've got pots almost everywhere.
Sunlight. I don't have enough in parts of my yard. I could put pots of iris there but they would never bloom.
Been doing that experiment a little too much already.

Sorry for the messed up posts. I put the Sutton intros in here instead of Superstition intros. My bad!
