Sweet Prairie Wind is such a gorgeous color. Love the big clumps of Untamed Heart and Cowgirl Spurs. I got Sam Abell last year, but so far it just is not looking as good as yours. It might need a different spot, it is next to Remonds me of Fireworks that is towering over it. Buddy's Victoria Jade is gorgeous there!

Nancy - Sweet Prairie Wind was looking much more red than usual. It's usually a mulberry color. Sam Abell always looks good here, so yours may need a different spot. Most of the Buddy's Victoria Jade clumps was covered up by a butterfly bush. That photo is about a third of the clump.

Debra, I love your Untamed Heart clump [I know you are surprised!] and really enjoy all the clumps and group shots.

Brad

Untamed Heart has such nice clear blooms. I see you threw in a pic of Mexican Magic.

Mantis and Brad - Untamed Heart has very clean blooms most of the time. Sometimes after an overnight rain, it has a few imperfections on the sepals. Thanks for commenting on it!

Debra , I am sitting here drooling . So many of the cultivars you post are not available in Canada . Darn it ! Can I ask , what cultivar is in the pic posted between Sam Abell and Skater I love the peachy color of it . So different from the others

Heather - Sorry I left the name off that one. It's Bill Maryott's Mexican Magic. I got it in a trade with Julia. Thanks, Julia!

Mantis - I guess you were naming Mexican Magic for me.

Debra

First I always love garden shots and yours is terrific. So much color, forms and height. I hope you do more of those. Not a bad dayily in all the photos. Cowgirl Spurs and Untamed Heart caught my eye. You must be so thrilled with how well your intros are doing. Glad Mexican Magic is doing okay for you.

Julia

I‘m glad you posted that garden shot! So pretty! My favorites are Cowgirl Spurs (what a performance!), Untamed Heart and Sweet Prairie Wind ( gorgeous color).

Sherry

Julia and Sherry - I'm glad you like the garden shot. I have so many daylilies and seedlings that I don't have time to deadhead entire beds. So I probably won't do too many garden shots. I'll try to get a few more in the next week or so. I am thrilled my intros are blooming so well this year. Cowgirl Spurs barely bloomed at all last year after the fall line-out. So I was happy to see all those buds and double scaping this Spring.

This week is busy because I have so many annual medical appointments. I just got the results of yesterday's mammogram, and it was clear. So I'm two years cancer free now!
