And some more:

Beautiful blooms! I especially like Mary Ethel Anderson. I purchased that one last summer but have not yet seen mine bloom. Little Rainbow is such a luscious color. It was one of the first ones we purchased and we still grow it.

Whites don't uusally impress me, but Lillian's Thin Ice is a beauty. I also really like Dragonfly Dawn.

You have fallen behind. Look at all those pretties. You know I'm not into off white UF's but that Dragon Fly Dawn is pretty amazing looking. It looks like the flowers are huge.........True Blue Heart strikes my fancy. Beautifully Embossed looks promising. Will look forward to more pictures of that......I love my Burning Inheritance. But after many years here, this last winter killed off one of my plants. It was a scramble to find a new one from a rust free source, and the one I received was just a small plant (6 inch pot) that I hope will grow. I'm glad I had a duplicate pot of it that survived the winter because finding a colorfast orange/red is very hard to do........Maryl

So many I really like, but I think my favorite may be Mint Octopus. Love Entwined in the Vine and Dragonfly Dawn too

Avedon, did you not just get Entwined in the Vine? And such a lovely bloom already! Mine has not started yet but you know I do love it!! So many pretty ones to post. I can understand why you are behind! And I know the feeling. These are all lovely.

Many thanks, all. I still have more to post and I will show a few of the seedlings, too. Dragonfly Dawn is pretty, but disappointing as a plant in our garden. The scapes can't always support the flowers, but I'm not going to send it away just yet. Maryl, I thought Beautifully Embossed might get your attention. It was sent last fall as a bonus, and I forgot all about it until a couple of nights ago when I was out late and saw the blooms. So far, the flowers seem to have trouble opening completely, may be because of all the ruffles, or it may need more sun than it is getting to do well. I forgot to put FFE on Mary Ethel Anderson, first full season starting here. Little Rainbow always makes me smile, I love polychromes and to see that color on such a small flower is a joy. Mint Octopus was moved last fall because it was pitiful, and the move seems to have done it much good, for this is the best bloom I have seen on it. True Blue Heart is starting third year here and is doing great, the blue eye really shows now. Entwined In The Vine, a long strange story attached to this one, but I will do the short version. EITV and Child Of Atlantis were put together as one plant marked as EITV. They arrived in April, planted, and first to bloom was Child Of Atlantis. We knew there had been a mixup on the names, so we just thought COA had been planted in the space for EITV. Then a few days ago, guess what, the other two scapes bloomed and they were EITV. Now in the fall we will have to dig them up and put Child Of Atlantis is its original planting space. We also have a plant that we don't know the name, will have to contact Abundant to see if they know--crazy!! Anyway, EITV is beautiful, thrilled to have it.

Nice to see such an assortment. What has excited and what has disappointed you?

Lovely collection of blooms! My favorites include Lillian’s Thin Ice, Mary Ethel Anderson, and Smoky Mountain Autumn.
