Here's a list of a FEW of Esther's children -- ones I have grown and used in
hybridizing because I've found them to have good, relatively open, growth
habits.  This is the type of arilbred plant I'd expect to do well in a hot,
humid climate and some (like ORA J. SEALE) have been reported to do well in
Georgia.   Some of the really rampant growers (like SONG OF BABYLON, UNCLAIMED
TREASURE, and VISION QUEST) should be divided more frequently, however, even
here in the arid southwest.   I offer this caution because an UNCLAIMED TREASURE
left undug for several years in my test bed managed to crowd out and kill its
immediate neighbors much like a rampant rebloomer did in one of my mother's beds
in Oklahoma.

I'm sure there are many others, but I think this is a good place to stop.  I
hope that someone with experience with growing arilbreds in the southeast will
chime in.
