One of the most surprising and rewarding crosses has been this one it has given me lots of different colors and patterns over the past few years with some very unique things popping up they have really weathered the storm from the wipeout years as well as being dug up and moved multiple times they have proven to be very hardy plants and still about 15 more to go that haven't bloomed yet that I keep dragging around I had it in my mind to toss the unbloomed ones this year until (G) flowered for the 1st time this year and I decided to leave them in place for another year. They all have Plicata in them coming from (Class Ring) and I have used a number of them in Plicata crosses nothing yet to bloom but maybe something new and exciting.

This one is by far the most unique as every flower has a little bit of a different color and pattern it fits my description as you won't need a name tag to recognize it in the garden and makes lovely clumps. I need to make a decision on it soon as I have lot's of it at this point so please give your opinion on this one.

I have liked this one from it's maiden bloom color really pops out in the sunlight there are lot's of Variegata's but I think this one is unique enough that it will be enjoyed. This year it bloomed short but lot's of things did in our record heat looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring in normal year left a big clump in a 3 year planting to see what kind of effect I get with it it is another one there is lot's of it please leave an opinion if you like it.

Bloomed very short this year and with no branching another one affected by weather it has a beautiful color/ wide flower and loaded with ruffles but a very hard color to photograph almost need a cloudy day to capture it right or someone that is a lot better photographer then me but it's close. Really like it

Another New one for the year and one of the 1st to bloom a very good grower love the flower form and stalks on this one.
