I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Celebrating Gardening: 2015
The other great part about visiting Kieth's garden was to be able to see alot of the newer Blyth Intro's from Australia that I wanted in the catalog blooming. I think he has done some amazing work with new color patterns and trying to create something a little different and I appreciate that, to be able to see both Kieth's and his up close was a treat. These were some of my top picks I started off looking for some of the earlier blooming ones because they were at the top of my want list but missed most of them (Another Woman) & (Ancient Secrets) were two that I wanted but they were done blooming, but I found quite a few that I passed over looking through the catalog but up close Thumbs up were great.

I think if I had to pick just one to buy it would be Jealous Guy, I saw it blooming at all 3 gardens and it stood out at each of them, the plants looked big and healty everywhere, and the flower was a totally unique color that talked to me. It got 1st place in my book. Smiling
