You guys are awesome !!!
Paul.. Thank you for taking the time to write that I really appreciate it .. I had not thought about sending anything to the conventions yet most of these are new and I need to get through a couple more winters with them and see How they grow but if they look good in the future I certaintly want to contribute to the conventions. We really enjoyed walking the convention beds in Oregon the past couple years it was fun to see the different seedlings from all over the country, Hopefully we get a good turn out here in 2017 and there is something here the Judges will like.
I had a lot of fun watching these bloom this spring but after coming from Oregon and walking Mr. Keppel's and Mid American I know they still need some work. I crossed a lot of the better ones together hoping to pull certain things from each one will be exciting what comes from taking all those different pedigrees and putting them together.
Bonnie.. Thank You !!! Will see what the future brings in a few years ..the main problem right now is the time restraints during shipping season it is also the busiest time of the year for Construction and I have my hands full with 2 businesses it would not be fun to attempt a 3rd one.Would proably leave a lot of people upset because they didn't get there plants in time
I am working to free up my time and turn some of the workload over to people that may be able to do it better than me and hopefully this will allow me to work on something else in the summer that I enjoy
Mary Ann.. Your gonna love both of them
and Cpt Thunderbolt is a must !!
Barbara .. I will keep you in mind please tell me your favorite of them all
Jane.. Yes all good growers here and they looked really well in multiple gardens in California and Oregon.
Les.. You will Love Zlatovlaska it puts on a show.
Sherry.. I really liked it this year it had good color and nice ruffles.. Platinum Jubilee is great, very unique color in the garden and grows well here.. I too am excited to see the new Mid America catalog they have some beautiful plants for next year !! We will preview some of them
These were all very impressive this year at home especially (Strawberry Shake) and (Star Turn) if you need a pink these 2 are at the top of my list ..of the last group shown (Dance Card) was a favorite this year it blooms late and I used it a lot in different crosses with some of Joe's pinks.. it sets pods and is fertile just a wonderful plant for the front of the garden and has a impressive pedigree some of Keppel's best pinks went in to making that one.
