V. sez:
I have a long "must have" list, as follows with explanations:
MORNING MOOD - I have CAPRICIOUS, but the falls are kinda droopy, and
the outer leaves tend to rot. MM has a similar color pattern, and I
hope will be an improvement.
CORAL DREAMS - Loved a photo I saw of it.
HEAVEN'S EDGE - Been looking for something like ARMADA, POLAR SEAS,
etc. that grows better. Someone else in PA said that this did well for
them.
PRINCE GEORGE - I'm a sucker for heavy haft veining, even if it is out
of fashion.
SHIRLEY M - Nice blue bearded pink. Had it before and lost it.
APRICOT TOPPING - BB - Loved a photo.
BECKY'S BONNET - Loved a photo on photo list - like RINGO, with yellow
stile arms and B.
TENDER TUNE - Loved it on LOOMIS TRIAL GARDEN tape - neglecta with
yellow B. It's from Burseen, who I ordered from last year and was
delighted with the size of his rhizomes.
SHERRYL RENE - Another Loomis tape one - kinda like SWEET MUSETTE.
Also from Burseen.
PELE - SDB - Yet another Loomis - orange/red with great growth.
AUTUMN YEARS - I'm a sucker for colorbreakers. Saw it in a garden last
year and liked it.
ANYTHING GOES - Another one with strong haft markings.
TIGER BUTTER - I used to have this, but I got rid of it because it
didn't grow much. Then I saw it at a show last year, and it looked
great! Gonna try it in more sun. May get SUMMMER'S SMILE instead.
GOODWILL MESSENGER - Liked photo.
CONJURATION - Yeah, this got trashed on the list last year, but I saw
it at a show and in a couple gardens and liked it.
HARVEST OF MEMORIES - I probably saw this in someone's garden last
year, but it didn't register. Then I saw it at our fall meeting when
someone brought in a stalk - Queen of Show stalk!!! Four open blooms
in November!!! Besides, it's from Lloyd...
JEAN MARIE - Saw this in a garden last year and liked it a lot - white
and yellow. Another Lloyd Z one.
MARGARET VIOLA WHITE - Blue with dark B. Saw in garden last year and
liked it. Yet another Lloyd one. (It just happened that I saw a lot of
his I liked last year)
SPRINGHOUSE - Loved this several years ago in someone's garden, but I
couldn't find it in a catalog to buy it until this year.
IRISH MOSS - SDB - Liked photo. And it's green!
ETERNAL BLISS - Another rebloomer I saw last fall. Near white, with
orange B and lace.
CANARY DELIGHT - Liked it in garden last year, and want to see if it
will rebloom here.
SKY AND SUN - New intro from Winterberry Gardens - blue with yellow B.
Saw it as a seedling last year.
AUTUMN CIRCUS - Saw this in the garden for the first time last year -
looked like an improved CIRCUS STRIPES.
CRAFTY LADY - BB - Liked photo.
There. I've given you a peek into my mind. You've stared straight
into the depths of insanity...
