Those each are indeed noteworthy for the Top 3! I think many are stunners!
My favorites this year were also first time blooms (except for last one) for me:
Walter Kennedy - Recently acquired. Scapes developed almost immediately that produced beautiful blooms! I love the stunning shades of red in the blooms! Blooms stayed beautiful throughout the day in the heat.
Wild One - This one produced several scapes with lots of blooms! It was the bloom colors that captured my attention and admiration! I hope it multiplies and blooms even more in 2017!
Marilyn Morss Johnson - I can't lie .... this is one of my favorites because of the bloom. The blooms are perfect each time. The colors and pattern truly delight me. Definitely one of my top three picks!!!
