Yeah, but I keep adjusting, relocating etc to see if I can provoke
good perfomance. Tend to move the really good growers and the
really bad growers and leave the middle ones be a bit longer.

This is very good. About the time I hit the send button on the last
post it occurred to me that a symposium by region might be more
helpful in selecting cultivars to acquire and try. Not that I'm likely
to give up those wild selections based on descriptions in catalogs.
I'm a sucker for those descriptions. It's always interesting to see
how far off my imagination varies from the actual resulting bloom.
Sometimes I miss pretty far. And sometimes I get a really good
surprise.
I'll fill mine out today. Probably won't list more than half a dozen.
Maybe I'm too critical, but they must have done pretty well in terms
of performance or it won't get a check mark. Just a nice bloom is
not quite enough for one who is interested in impact in the garden.
