Holy smokes! You could get a whole bouquet off KKKKatie in one swoop. What a wonderful plant. And Walter H. is just too lovely for words- sort of wavery, white wonderous petals. I could stare at that a long time- and have!

Walter was a cutting I got at a dahlia auction so it will be interesting to see what I get for tubers. This is the first for me growing cuttings so I'm not sure what to expect. I was told by some old time growers, who grow nothing but cutting, that the plants from cutting have more buds.

I think next year I'm going to buy a few more orchids and make an orchid patch as they sure liven up any bouquet. Just another avenue to journey down.

How beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I love your Walter H.

The MG make a nice backdrop. Thanks for sharing. I keep getting good ideas here.

What is MG, Jroot?

This year was to be our terrible drought summer after virtually no snow in the mountains even and much less rainfall than usual last winter. Raging wildfires, water restrictions etc etc. But I think the Midwest and Northeast got hit much worse as far as drought goes. It's been normal here all summer. So I hope you guys get some decent snow this winter to make up for the lack of moisture.

Poochella, Jroot is talking about the Morning Glories(MGs) in the background of the KKK Katie photo.

OMG! I am as bad as my husband. I thought they were clematis LOL! I should have known better with that foliage, but the MG only got a cursory glance as I was 100% fixated on that K K K Katie.
Thanks for letting me know Willow, I sheepishly crawl into my corner now.....
