     What about SONJA'S SELAH?   Its beautiful, a great grower, and 
distinctive. >>


I do already have LEMON POP, HELLO DARKNESS, ACOMA and CITY LIGHTS. My vote 
is for HELLO DARKNESS (if I could vote). I loved LEMON POP but have to admit 
I'm a TB person and tend to look at those tall things first. Too bad DUSKY 
CHALLENGER can't win twice! I'm still amazed at the size of that plant!! I 
don't have YAQUINA BLUE and, to tell the truth, I'm tired of so much blue and 
purple. I'd love to see a great orange in the running. APHRODISIAC opened 
today and I'm still wondering how that thing ever got passed up. Schreiner's 
TERRA ROSA is a wonderful thing, too. Gotta love those "Georgia Clay" looking 
blooms!
 I also have SONJA'S SELAH and I'm just glad someone is having luck with it 
because I'm not. This is a second year plant and has yet to bloom for me. 
It's looking like one of those road side ditch candidates. I'm keeping it for 
one more year though. If it would bloom just once....(sigh).
 I see TIGER HONEY making a run for the medal some day. APOLLO ONE is another 
that has been catching my eye for almost 3 weeks now. (Kudos Mike!). I also 
have to make mention of a 99 introduction that I can't wait to have in my 
garden...AARDVARK ANTICKZ from Kasparek. Amazing color!! Hope it does well 
here.
 I think I'm starting to have that post-bloom thing already. Peak was last 
week and the garden is already starting to look naked.  :(

I'm taking donations of Iris photos if anyone wants to share!! Gotta have 
something to look at. My catalogs are already showing wear!!
