Nhra_20 said:Joshua, I actually really like the pictures from garden #2. I like the look of the pappilae. Especially when it's a contrasting color like it is on yours. But everyone has their likes. My wife doesn't like the recurved flowers like martagons, Karen North and even L. Henryi..... but since it's not her garden and she doesn't do the work..... 
If it was up to her the garden would be "50 shades of pink"
Thanks Dave. I actually quite like the fully recurved martagons and asiatic species. It's just on large flowers like these Aurelian hybrids that I prefer the partially recurved (like the orange one) instead.
Thanks for the comments,
@Leftwood. I must reiterate that this is all Paul's work, so all credit must go to him. All I've done is not kill them
He was very generous in giving me so many of his hybrids and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest are like and trying a few crosses of my own.
