Would you look at that clump shot of Grape Slush...9 inch blooms, gorgeous Mike Thumbs up
I keep going back up and looking at Blueberry Dream, think it is the colors combined with the thin white edge. I'm drawn to the patterns too, Marilyn Morss Johnson, Pinwheel Princess. The edge no eyes of Wild One and Wild Cherry Wine. Sour Puss, funny name (Have we ever done a thread on funny names?) Primal Scream is always a visitor magnet here, everyone wants it.

Lilyfan, it is so hard to downsize to the only the best performers. When deciding what stays and what goes I ask myself, would I rather see this one with a few less blooms that makes me stop to get a closer look or would I rather have the one with more blooms/longer bloom time that I walk by every day barely noticing it was open. It is a happy day when I find one that has those stop and look flowers on a great plant with nice branching and lots of buds. Smiling
