Char, the secret is out!

I had not seen any of Francis' work until I went to the TBIS Meeting and 
Northern Trek in Minneapolis in June of 2001.  A lot of his things were in 
bloom there, and they were performing well.  I came home and ordered.

This spring, they bloomed on two year plants and were all fantastic.  I liked 
MAUNA LOA FIRE and CAJUN COOKING.  He also sent a 2003 called CHIM 
CHAM.  It also bloomed and is very different in color and pattern, lighter in 
color than MLF.  All of his grow well for me.  HALO EVERYBODY gathered a 
lot of admirers last year in the Memphis gardens.

So, from cold, cold WI, Rogers varieties seem to thrive in opposite climates, 
where I am hot, hot and wet, wet.
