Lucy I hope I have some luck with them this year I know some can be tricky but I have only had problems with a few, most of his do well for me through the winter it's the late frosts that always seem to get me not just with his but any of the early ones, I lost a lot of bloom stalks this year to a late freeze so maybe this spring will be good to us.

Polly you should try him next year he was very genorous with bonus and his bulbs were really nice sized and quality is 2nd to none, I planted most them and within a week they were starting to take.

Paul that is a really nice collection I will be looking forward to your pictures of them, the bus tour we did voted Brouhaha as there favorite it was Outstanding, I'm not sure if you have Plot Line but that's another one of his that I Love that I highly recommend every garden I saw it in this spring it just glowed.

Tom. Iconic was my favorite Red this year lots of ruffles and plants looked strong, a close 2nd was Red Skies very nice flower and quite a few people were using it for crosses, from the seedlings I saw it has a lot of potential to be a good parent, I hope it grows well here. There were 2 other reds that I saw that were talking to me of his they were called Regimen and Infared both older ones but the color was fantastic, I looked for them all over and had no luck finding them so maybe in a year or two someone will have them for sale.
