Hi
OK so it's still raining a bit, but the sun has been shining some days and the weather is getting warmer, still not up to November standards, but at least the irises aren't being cooked.
So what's looking really fantastic
TBs Ice Scultpure, Timescape, Sweet Musette, Beguine, Pemcaw, Rustler, Copatonic, Rubistar (looking really red this year), Grecian Goddess (calls from right acrooss the garden), Samuri Silk, Sapphire Hills, Bev Sills (stunning blooms on miserable plants), Skating Party, Silver Fox, Stolen Dreams, Tiger Honey (growing well for me) and Broken Breams.
My new Rippling River has stunning blooms, but no increase, hope it doesn't bloom out.
Lousianna
Prof Jim, Charlottes Tutu, Popsie (huge bitoned pink - Pryor), Extrodinaire
Spurias - just starting.
Lots of yummy seedings, some very nice Hello Darkness seedlings (if it'll hardly increase for me, I might as well try and breed some more vigorous black offspring). Lovely lavender with heavy gold horns from Taj Regis x Skyhooks. Will try to post photos as soon as I get time.
Not so good this year
Yaquina Blue, Scented Bubbles, Austrian Garnets, Miss Jeanie, Going Home. All these are normally excellent for me, so I guess they're allowed an off year.
Bountiful Harvest and All American had so much rebloom earlier, that they're looking a bit stunted now.
Almost all the TBs are are in flower(so I can't list the 100's of them) except for some of the one's that were transplanted late (July).
I'm surprised how much of the late transplanted stock is flowering, albeit a bit short and late.
Spending every daylight hour I'm not at work or digging orders madly photographing and hybridizing.
