What a trip down memory lane!

Gone -

Loved Thais - too tender here
Loved Condilla - sold out and really should have it back here. Two out of Condilla, have not lasted.

Lost track of Sovereign Queen and China Lake. Both gorgeous but don't remember which one I now have (sold out of the other one)

Still have Black Plush but I think fulva took it over - I did see it this past year for the first time in a long time

Tune the Harp - too tender here

On Silken Thread, still have

Techney Spider - still have. I once saw a seedling out of it that was WHITE! Most gorgeous thing. Someone stole it out of Doorakian's garden. Still dream about it!

Spider Miracle - bought it but it doesn't bloom here

Still have True to Whim, but it has never done this second pic. Might lose it this year. A little wimpy here.

Peggy Jeffcoat stays! Too short so in my raised bed.

Orchid Corsage stays if I can find it again - another that I sold too many of and forgot to keep myself!

Juli, you are mentioning ones that I still consider NEW! Love most all of Curt's things. More of his things than any other hybridizer's, here!

OK, so what might I have for oldies that has not been mentioned? (not sure if they are really old either!)

Another Doherty's - MATHEW MARTIN - cause it has brown fuzz, as bobby baxter mentioned!

HOT TOWN - or OUTRAGEOUS - both similar and hot orange/red eye

PAPER BUTTERFLY - because it is one of the first to bloom

AHOYA - cuz it has stripes! and looks good with self seeding Rudbeckias
can't find the pic of both at the moment

TRAHLYTA (no good pic it seems ) great increaser that is hazy so people either love it or hate it (Phil Reilly said, as he gave me a clump!) I love it and have used it in breeding.

Boy, sometimes I feel crazy about whether some of these are older or not - been around too long, I guess!
