Thanks everyone, 06a was pretty exciting when it was in bud. I could tell the standards were going to be white and the falls looked like they might be close to black. The falls are dark, but they aren't black. I do like the starbursts around the beards. Crossed it to 'Noble Gesture' hoping that at least one of its children will retain the white standards while having even darker falls. A starburst on the falls would be nice, too.
09d and 06d were probably my favorites, but we'll see what they all look like next year. 09g was the best from a technical standpoint. The bloomstalk was 38 inches tall with four branches plus the terminal and 12 buds. That's pretty good in this part of the world. It also stood up to some pretty brutal wind storms (the wind tore a first year clump of 'Blueberry Parfait' right out of the ground, I've never seen that before
) with no problem and bloomed from about the middle of the TB season all the way to the end. Not the most exciting color, but the texture veining jazzes it up a bit.
