Wow, those babies look quite mature. Who have you got in there? and how old are they? Some you grew from seed?

I bought them two years ago in the spring and planted them at this location in the fall of 2006.

I have Daniel Deronda, Royalty, Ken donson, Durandii, Mrs. N Thompson, Pamiat Serdsta, Ice Blue, Blue Bird, Artic Queen, Ascotiensis, Madame Grange, Madame Julia Correvon, Twilight, Sugar Candy, Petit Faucon, zion Inspiration, Gillian Blades, Carnaby, 3 unknowns, two of which are the same (I think Etoile Voilet) and 4 I can't remember until I find the tags or go look at individual pictures.

I am looking for seeds from Freckles, viorna, pink flamingo, betty corning, sieboldii, if anyone wants to trade. (Yes I know they don't come true to type but I am willing to get something close.-so far I am pleased with the offspring from seeds.)

Beautiful pictures, LostMermaid. I am waiting for Pamiat Serdsta to arrive this Fall. Do you have any growing tips? Thanks!

Fabulous!!...You could easily put some bamboo tripods in and amongst all your flowers and have some vertical interest for sure..just glorious!!...Jeanne

Pamiat Serdsta does not twine much. The stalks seem more straight so I would suggest that you give her a lot of low support. If you put her in a windy location then higher support as well. She tends to shoot straight up. As you can see from the picture I needed to get wire around her lower half. She stands about 4' tall at this time.

I will enter her in the garden show this weekend and see how she does. I will enter Pitcheri in the oddity class.

Those are pretty big babies you have there :-). Beautiful babies, too.
