I love this idea! This could be THE most important thing we've done on this
list.... EVER.
Do I understand that we are not using the symposium ballot as a guide... but
just counting off the best of the best that we grow?? This is wonderful!
Let me think for a minute ... two that come to mind right away are:
GRAND WALTZ... a confection of raspberry lace and ruffles that grows and
blooms no matter what.
VICTORIA FALLS.... yes, I know it falls over. But it still is a consistent
performer in this garden - and blue as the sky. And I had it planted next to
a fire engine red oriental poppy in my front garden once upon a time and the
combination would bring strong men to their knees.
OK.... only two. I still get 23 more. But I need to think on it.
