Can anyone tell the rain here has put all
garden work on hold? :)
I would add BLACK FALLS. It increases slowly, has bloomed once
in three years. Have nearly lost it twice.
BLUE SUEDE SHOES - a 'plain Jane' after waiting four years for
bloom. I was expecting something really spectacular.
Grows and blooms well here.
BOOGIE WOOGIE - if it had been introduced as an IB or a BB,
I'd sing its praises.
Has been very nice in past years, sparse bloom this year
and short stalks.
ENNOBLE - washed out rusty red with a bud count of four. One
branch.
Bloom color is good, blooms short and increases slowly. Foliage
is thin.
FEATURE ATTRACTION - bloomed out twice.
Does well here.
HEAVEN - bald rhizome died over winter. Replaced with rhizome
showing one increase. Replacement died. I gave up. Have never
seen it in bloom in any convention/regional garden.
Do not grow yet.
HELLO DARKNESS - a near bloom-out every other year.
Alternate years it does not bloom, but builds up energy to try to
bloom out again.
Grows well here.
NORTHWEST PROGRESS - No progress at all.. Died, replaced,
died again without blooming.
This is a weed here. Heavy increase. Stalks are short in cooler
spring weather.
OWYHEE DESERT - Beautiful, gigantic flowers on twelve inch
stalks.
Jury is out.
SANTA - still waiting for bloom on a three year clump.
Do not grow yet.
TOWERING INFERNO - this is an oldy, but I recommend it to all
of the fans of DESTRY RIDES AGAIN. It's a red form of Destry.
They could be playmates and maybe mate, but I have serious
cause to wonder about their children.
This one I like, but it has died twice. I give up.
