I was introduced to the Fubuki series by Arlene (Pirl) and just love them. I am hoping that both of the two I have, 'Red and White' and 'Kogana' survive this spring. R&W was sent my Arlene and I have had it for two summers now. Hmmm. Maybe three. Is lovely and very prolific with blooms.

Also had Pineland's Princess though I don't think it survived the winter. For sure next year I will be more careful with the drying and place them in some moist peat again. I don't understand why they start shriveling so quickly in the fall after cutting them. It could be because I wash them though why that would cause shriveling I don't know. So I may just dump off the dirt and store 'au natural' then wash in the spring. Haven't tried that yet.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
