Ironic how I'm seeing so many "wants" I never have purchased, example "Thin Man". (edit: Buttered Popcorn, if I had ever stumbled upon it I'd have tried it, by name alone it's just got to be good)

South Seas is a good one, I moved mine to the edge of what's going to be my shade bed. The colors are far more intense IMHO. From a short distance you can see there's a lot more going on with that bloom, it draws you in. I won't be moving it again. Once you reach it, the walk is worthwhile. How do you say subtle and intense in the same sentence? It's best how I would describe South Seas.

(My only nocturnal other than a tall species daylily I've not 100% identified. Neat if you wander the garden at night, and yes my blooms last the day on both. Great budding and fairly self cleaning compared to the yellow species specimen. I have them side by side).

I believe my Night Beacon has been overtaken by irises but it had great color. Blooms were on the small side to call it bold and my box store specimen was slow to multiply. I never saw it as a thriving clump. I placed it in good spot to test it magnetism, it's a worthy contender. I'll gladly try again but I'd purchase through a different means. I purchase no living plants at that particular box store and I won't name names (but not even annuals). Bulbs sure, living plants no.
