Hopefully I will get time to see all the posts I've missed. Here's what has started here:

Gadsden Goliath. All scapes are lying on the ground. This one happened to be on top a a small hosta.

A brand new seedling for me: Indian Giver x Siloam Amazing Grace

Lavender Dew. Actual color is a bit lighter than this.

Elegant Candy. This is darker than it actually is.

Spoken in Parables last year for sure. Last year was supposed to be the last one but due to surgery it got an extra year. Once again succeeding to disappoint. About 3-4 buds per scape.

Nicest it has ever looked, Little Business.

There were a couple more but no pics.

Glad you had a safe trip, Brad. Actually I love the look of Gadsden Goliath on the hosta. It looks like a Christmas wreath!! Little Business has great color as does Lavender Dew even if it is actually lighter. And your new seedling looks like it may have good potential.

Welcome back. I love the color of Little business. Lavender Dew is very nice and I don't see a red I don't like. Very good.

Glad to see your home safely. I like your seedling. FYI, Little Business likes a good amount of shade here. Interesting photo of Gladsen Goliath, enhances the beauty of both plants.

Do you think the strong winds from Cristobal knocked down the scapes on Gadsden Goliath? The bloom looks good on the hosta. I like your Indian Giver seedling. Lavender Dew is a pretty one. I wonder why Spoken in Parables does so poorly for you. Emmerich sent it as a bonus to me one year and it was loaded with buds. Unfortunately I didn't get it in the ground, and it died in a pot over the winter.

When I initially glanced at the first picture of Gladsen I thought how odd. A flower that looks like a daylily in foliage that looks like a Hosta. Now that's some unique hybridizing!..... I like Little Business. Looks cute in your photo............Maryl

Nice seedling. And how is it your Elegant Candy bloomed before mine? Yes, I am jealous. I did move mine last fall, and it seems half the size it was last year. The wind was viscious the other day, wasn't it. It only broke one scape, a really thick scape. But Forty Days and Forty Nights was blown almost to the ground, it is about 4' tall this year, and it was fine the next day.

Nancy, this is really early for Elegant Candy.

Debra, Gadsden Goliath has such weak scapes, it usually leans badly but this is worse than ever, and it happened from a driving rain a week ago. I usually tie string around a pole to hold them up, but I was away plus they have a pathetic amount of buds this year so not worth the trouble.

Hey what did I miss and when . I had no idea you had been away Brad , I just figured like me you were busy and not enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done this time of year. Too bad about Spoken in Parables. I see that it has Dragon's Eye in its heritage I wonder if that is the culprit and makes it tender and few buds . I used to have Dragon's Eye and I was not particularly impressed ....turfed it some time ago .
