Well, it acted like it posted, but where did it go? Giving up for now

I see it, Nancy!! It posted! You beat Houzz! I am so glad you tried again to post since these are all great. I like the look of Jumping Jack (but I see it's prone to splotchies) and Laura's report on it was mediocre. So I don't know how it would fare here. I always like Butterfly Moon a lot, but as I said before, I'm trying to stay away from getting more evergreens. That's a pretty bouquet of Offbeat and Harbor Blue. Linda Beck looks great. I'm glad to see that Wiregrass Greenstar and Levi Davis are blooming better for you. They never did much here.

It looks like people are having trouble posting again. It's so frustrating. But you persisted, and your photos posted. Good for you. My favorites are Annabelle's Blush, Butterfly Moon and Offbeat. I used to grow Wiregrass Greenstar and Levi Davis, but they both died. Wiregrass was in too much shade, and I think the grubs got to Levi, after it having grown here for seven years. Your Linda Beck blooms much darker than mine.

Thank you Celeste! I am hoping Jumping Jack will do better next year. I think anything prone to splotchiness is going to be splotchy this year with all the rain. And maturity may help it, time will tell. Wiregrass greenstar was not at all impressive to me last year, but now the blooms are larger and seem to have more substance.

Debra, I am glad to know that Levi Davis grew for you, I have been concerned it might be delicate since it took til this year to bloom. It is short even now, pretty blooms though that seem to hold up well from the downpours.

Levi Davis was never tall for me, and it multiplied slowly. But the blooms were really beautiful!

Great show, Nancy, keep fighting the good fight, it paid off today! Hello Heartstrings is my winner today, I was on a quest last season to add interesting yellows to the garden, looks like I missed a good one. Wiregrass Greenstar , is a nice yellow, that’s miss number two for me.

It did post...don't feel bad. It is that way for everyone....sometimes it works well....others not. I really like Wiregrass Greenstar and Hollywood lights. Butterfly Moon and Offbeat are both real beauties. You knoow how fond I am of Citrix and Bullfrog Kisses, but Subtle Knife is also very pretty. Nice post.

I am glad you persisted as well! It looks like your season is really popping now with all these lovelies! And yes, I agree, with all this rain, finding a nonsplotchy bloom some mornings is almost impossible! You know I love Butterfly Moon and Offbeat is gorgeous in that shot!

Lots of nice purples and lavenders. Claudine's Charm is my favorite of these, followed by Linda Beck.

l like the Butterfly Moon. I am always cautious about Bell cultivars, but some have done well here. Hot Springs Belle is a big flower. Will see what Heartbeat does here this year. It also didn't do much last year.

Butterfly Moon has not done wonderful, but above average here, both multiplying and bud count. Bud count is usually about 12, but with the large blooms, it seems like more. And it has rebloomed, I think every year so that means a lot to me.

Sherry, i have always liked Hello Heartstrings, although I prefer softer yellows. There are a lot of yellows out there, and this one may tend to a more gold color, but this is a good rebloomer, tallish, good size blooms. I love it. I think it is not a great multiplier, I have had it 8 years or more, it is a good clump now, but less that 10 fans this spring. I have divided it to share a couple of times though. I am happy not to have great increase though. Less work dividing, just a problem waiting for it to get a decent size though!
