These are all recent purchases or trades. They are typical east coast sized rhizomes.

The first is Bravery, a 2012 Ghio. It is potted temporarily in a mixture of half potting soil and half garden dirt. This will get transplanted to the hillside garden in about a month, when the weather is cooler and it has had a chance to grow some new roots. Currently it is placed near the barn so that it gets shade in the afternoon.

Next is Put Another Nickel In by Howard Bushnell 2011. This was a club sale purchase from a couple of weeks ago. Bought it mainly cause of the name. Found out later that it is a lavender-pink-purple blend. Currently in the same soil mix and location as the above.

And last is Howler a pink 2011SA by Thomas Johnson. Another trade from Greg. Thank You! This one is planted under the peach tree. in a slightly lighter soil mix. Showing some growth already! This is its permanent location. (Ugly leaves in the back round have been trimmed since the picture was taken.)
