I went out and took some pictures this evening - some of them are a bit blurry - they look OK when they're small but when they are full size, not so much. The only one missing is the Festiva Maxima - I planted the root about a week ago and it hasn't come up yet.

P. obovata var. alba - this one has a bud on it. It usually blooms in May.

P. tenuifolia hybrid? It has single flowers and segmented leaves, but not finely segmented. I forget what they are called. Anyway, I started hardscaping the edge of the bed a couple of weeks ago, and moved it. It seems to have recovered.

This is a P. tenufolia plena, or something like that. Finely segmented leaves and double bloom. It was -4C a few nights ago, and I think the leaves got frosted. It was 27C today and will be around 9C tonight. Go figure.

This is a Mr. GF Hemerick. At least I think that is what it is. I have a label for one in a shoe box in the basement, but it may be for one that I planted in a previous garden and never grew. This one has been growing for about 4 years, and has never flowered. However it seems to like where it is.
