Right now I am still formalizing my goals, and I now see just how important it can be to have a narrow laser like focus to keep from overextending my little plan. I of course appreciate the "outside-the-box' seedlings that don't match up with the criteria set for the "goal", that is so exciting just thinking about what might pop up unexpectedly.
Naturally here in my zone and area I want good rust resistance specifically, and generally just great looking foliage. Of course beautiful large blooms (still not into the small ones to much) and bud count over twenty, and at least four branches. My main theme will be sculpted relief blooms, and looking in the database there don't seem to be a lot of plants like that available with great stats.
I would like to have at least 26 inch scape height also.
Today is suppose to be cooler and windy so I plan on spending some time trying to work out a rotation pattern for my beds and take a real close look at what plants to try and cross. I really need to bring in some more plants that show sculpted relief, I am very limited in choices right now.
Still looking for that first scape of the season!
@Larry W, looking forward to those photos!
