Sue, that is the one tentatively identified as Honey Glazed. I'm sending some to Mary Ann to compare with hers. I believe the red is Red Zinger. I had Bayberry Candle when I was a teenager, with my first order with Schreiner's or Cooley's, can't recall which one. I remember when it bloomed I thought it was the color of snot, LOL.

Lost track of the id of this one, but love it.

I believe this historic is Amas. I had dug some rhizomes to grow at the base of the silver maple where it is so dry not much will grow there. I had forgotten and left one sitting on the ground, mostly in gravel. Here it is happily blooming. I love those tough as nails oldies!

The 2nd one below is a good rebloomer for other people, just not here. Some friends in Louisville had a gorgeous clump in bloom last October that I oohed and awed over and asked where they got it. They replied "from you!"
