Here are some of Jack's that do well here - some are REAL oldies, and a couple of newer ones.
Marie Hooper Memorial is a GIGANTIC bloom, and Lavender Stardust:
Dena Marie ( taken a couple of days ago) and Jealous Refinement:
Mary Frances Ragain and Lavender Blue Baby. I got to present Jack with the Stout Medal the year he won it ( 2008) in Houston. You'll never believe the lengths we went to
in order to get him to that meeting. Thank goodness for his nephew Mark! Jack told me he wasn't much for awards but he agreed to attend the awards presentation after much coaxing.
Bronze Eyed Beauty and Caledonian Beauty:
Palace Garden Beauty and Essence of Royalty. I got rid of Essence last year because it was often splotchy. Life is too short!
Artisan's Touch and Red Eyed Fantasy:
Terry Lyninger and How Beautiful Heaven Must Be:
Sunrise Sunset Beautiful and Mark Alan Carpenter ( blooming now - superb!)
Land of Our Fathers and Plum Eyed Delight:
Probably my favorite right now is Waxen Splendor. Blooms are perfect every day, although blooms can look a little different from day to day.
I used to grow several others, Peppermint Delight, Our Friend Sally ( below) and Red Loveliness(below):
How could I forget Fancy Face and Cosmic Kaleidoscope?
