Re: Help matching photos to names !

Hi Beth.  That's a bummer about your labels.  I don't know how much you'll be
able to figure out, but I've got some guesses for you.  Keep in mind I'm no
expert.

#5 looks very much like Mer du Sud.

#3 looks the most like Midnight Caller, but it's hard to be sure.

If any of them is Midnight Revelry I'd vote for #1, which is closer in form
than #4 to my eye, but it's really uncertain.

It may be that none of these is Last Hurrah, which is supposed to bloom after
the others are done.  And none of the photos matches its near-white beard.

I don't think any of them is Blue Velvet.  That was introduced in 1929 and
must look more old fashioned than any of these.

Good luck!

last bloom was on Mary D. a week or two ago
