Thank you Glen, I don't know that the gardens are wonderful, but I enjoy them. They are always a work in progress as the weeds want to take over and I try to push the envelope of what grows here willingly without a lot of fussing. There are so many cool plants I'd love to grow, or even just see. If I could have a palm tree or one each of a thousand other warmer zone plants ....it would be dangerous for me to live in a warmer climate.
Alex, yes I saw the red teeth or fringe, too. I've heard others say that Rogue has them I've just never seen them quite like this year. So weird with all the cold weather.
A few more images...
Metaphysical Shrug, this one has really improved with age. A large clump now of deep purple blooms with heavy pleating.
Share a Little, a small soft pink bloom on a fabulous plant.
Silver Waffle, a favorite of the crepe textured cultivars, super plant and an easy parent for passing on the texture.
Wayne's World, this one can show a complex pattern a bitone combining an eye and/or watermark, ...one of those blooms that likes to surprise you.
Women Seeking Men, big pretty deep rose with a watermark, tall, sturdy scapes....and a great parent!
