Thank you Julia. Man of Sorrows is one of Emmerich's that always seems to have quite a few clumps during the season, Julia. I am always p-leased when it begins blooming.

Gypsy Cats is really asking for a first place trophy in the best clump contest! Love the colors on Cup of Cold Water and Man of Sorrows. I won’t be seeing EITV this year so am enjoying yours! A nice post with lovely clumps.

Gypsy Cats is making another wonderful clump in your garden. As I told you in an email, mine has enormouly tall and thick foliage this year. Mine won't start blooming for a couple of weeks. The clumps of Man of Sorrows and Entwined in the Vine are so pretty! Madera Gold grabs me every time you post it. I enjoyed seeing all the others too!

I am in awe of all the buds on Gypsy Cats! Foliage on Exotic starfish is very short and whimpy here. I have moved it every year I have had it til last year, so I had thought that is the reason. Is yours short too? Mine happens to be right between 2 very tall, vigorous daylilies, so gets a lot of shade probably. Hate to move it again, and it produced some nice flowers last year. No scapes yet on it, but may not be time yet.

Love Entwined in the Vine and hope to see it soon, thanks to Debra. I wish my Get'R Done would get'r done like yours has. Love Madera Gold, those flat open flowers appeal to me too.

A lot of the foliage here this year is outsized. I have had to do a lot of trimmimg as plants encroach on their neighbors. Always a joy to see clumps for me because it shows that a plant grows fairly well. Is it correct that Entwined in the Vine has a quite modest bud count? You seem to have pretty good scape density on Exotic Starfish.

Mantis, Entwined in the Vine have fewer buds than Normal, but usually it has quite a large bud count Yes, the scape density on Exotic Starfish is good and Purple Tarantula is have a banner year as well.

This is a real attention "getter" post. Even though the base color on Get R Done is faded, it still looks appealing. Cup of Cold Water is new to me. Will have to look that one up. Bubble Yummin Mamma is another pretty one. Too bad about the splotching, but it looks great now.............Maryl

Bubble Yummin Mama, Cup of Cold Water and Man of Sorrows are my faves of this group.
