Patty,
How long a list do you want? <Grin>
With the Japs, I have a lot of TDF's, including:
Butterflies in Flight
Center of Attention
Chigokesho (1939 was a good year, Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz AND
Chigokesho!)
Electric Rays
Great White Heron
Iapetus
Ike No Sazame
Michio
Rose Queen (this one has been talked about too much here already)
Sakurajishi
Tea Ceremony
Wings Aflutter
Here's a hornet's nest for you. I would also recommend 'Nikko', which
has been sold by White Flower Farms for years, but is not registered
with the AIS.
If I had to narrow it down even more, it would read: Chigokesho, Nikko,
Michio, Rose Queen and Tea Ceremony.
Siberians are easier for me to select because they are blooming NOW and
I get huge variation in performance in my Zone 7 garden. Good performers
that I really like are:
Dreaming Yellow
Ewen
Frosty Rim
Lady Vanessa
Mad Magenta
Maranatha
Navy Brass (slow to establish)
Omar's Cup
Percheron
Pink Haze
Reprise
Soft Blue
Steve
Super Ego
Teal Velvet
Again, a narrow list would read: Frosty Rim, Lady Vanessa, Reprise,
Super Ego, Teal Velvet.

Still rooting for the little yellow flower.
