My yard is really popping. My favorite newcomer is Double Dribble, a 2000
Ghio. Looks like a Dykes to me. Nice clean blue with white luminata
veining. Tall, healthy, well-formed flowers and plenty of them. Really
distinctive. If it reblooms like Joe Ghio says,....!!!!! His Laugh Lines
is also blooming for me; it is a tall well-branched deep burgandy luminata,
but with a haftier looking zonal area. Decipher resembles a purple Double
Dribble, but not as impressive. Double Vision is similar to the others,
with a great moody-looking burgandy on gold pattern, but it can't seem to
grow well or give me a decent stalk.
I'm enjoying a rich, colorfast purple-on-white plicata seedling of mine,
with about 8 stalks on its virgin bloom. Shorter TB, with great branching
and a thoroughly ruffled domed form - I love the domed form which was more
common on older varieties without the heavy ruffling of today. I was
staring at it last night over dinner. Guess I'll line it out this fall in a
prime location.

shape this year.
