Have spent the past couple days traveling here on the island enjoying missing the negative temps at home this past weekend and remembering what summer is like

I wanted to show some of his seedlings that I know have been around for awhile and I think may be possibilities in the near future so If I was putting together a catalog next year for Joe these would be in it have really enjoyed this group the past couple years no way to know if there is enough stock so we will just assume there is plenty and there all ready to go


A. Nothing else like it Absolutely Gorgeous and it may be a Border Bearded or on the lower range for a TB a huge bonus for me. I have very few pinks for the front of the garden and this one would be a highlight and the Star of the show a perfect a good example of how far he has come with the form and new fimbriated bubble ruffling.




B.This seedling has stopped me every year I see it.. such a beautiful blend of colors and ruffles could be mixed in with lot's of different colors or a very good show planted in a clump on it's own.. something that really jumps out at me is the colors in the buds as it's opening very pretty its ready next year.




C. Nothing else like this one either except for it's sib that is a couple shades lighter another Ghio special that I am excited for in the future such a lovely color blend



D. Joe featured this one on his Facebook page mentioning he had enough stock to introduce it in the coming years.. it is Outstanding when you see it in the garden ! love the blend of colors in it a perfect plant with Show Branching, wide flowers with his bubble ruffles, and excellent in a clump One to look forward too soon.




E. Joe has a good number of Luminata/ Fancy projects the next two are my favorites of them chosen for there form and impact they make early in the season have really enjoyed his recent releases (Who Did It) (Front of the Line) and (Exploding Galaxy) these should fit in well with the collection


F.



G.The updated version of That's all Folks complete with Huge flowers and loaded with ruffles on strong stems this one will be a hit all over the country very good !




H.What a Beauty ! I don't have anything at home like it the blue beards really make it pop



I.There are a number of Gorgeous Pinks getting close very hard to pick from them all but this one was really nice loved the color saturation on the falls when it 1st opens, the wide overlapping falls, the beards on it that stood out and what really sold me was it's on the shorter side. I have lot's of pinks in the taller range and need some for the front row in the garden.This would make a great addition




J. These pictures are from the previous year as this was just opening as I was leaving this season
but it was flagged as one to check on and watch.I remembered think WOW it's perfect.. stems, form, good pastel color will be gorgeous in a clump all on it's own or mixed in with other colors and as a bonus it is a very late bloomer and one to extend the season.



K. I think this one is getting pretty close nobody does Red's like Joe.. this will be another of his that will be well liked and a treasure to grow at home. I have a few red projects at home involving some of his older plants would love to have this one to throw in the mix starting to see his reds Hybridized with all over the country especially (Iconic) lot's of good things coming from his pedigrees.
