Friend for ever :-* - you mentioned Emily Anne - my
favourite even if it was named something else. Since tets do so well for you
shall I send you Judy x3 this fall?

I had visitors in my
garden yesterday from Montana and Indiana and I thought I was at Siberian
peak bloom but not quite.
Some of my favorites are still in
colored bud. I was going to take a few stalks in the house and use my hair
dryer on them to open them up so they could see them on Wednesday night I
decided that was silly but it didn't seem that silly when they said they
would have liked to see them.
Some of the late bloomer in
tons of colored bud that were in various beds in the
garden:
Dear Currier, Joyce Cole, Strawberry Fair, Gulls
Wing, Mesa Pearl, Temper Tantrum (which I had silently), Dirigo Ruffled
Feathers, Elisabeth McEwen, Liberty Hills,Harpswell Happiness and many
more. :-(
Anna Mae, your 'Frosted Cranberry' was one of their
favorites along with Marty and Jan's 'White Amber' and John White's 'Neat
Trick' and Bob Hollingworth' s 'Bright and Beautiful' , 'Emily Anne' and
'Blueberry Fair'and John Coble and Bob Bauer's 'Lee's Blue' that is in
three places in my garden and is a blooming fool. :-) My garden is
heavy on tetraploids which which seem to do better in my cold climate.
When they get around to blooming that is.
These visitors are
on their way to Maine today and will visit Jeff Dunlop and Dean Cole's
gardens. Dean has some irises in bloom so they will see a
hybridizer's garden and not have to look at a rain-soaked garden like mine
yesterday and a lot of colored buds.
