Too bad you have so many you cannot take but I do understand having been through it myself. The Snow Crystal is such a pretty near white. I'll look that one up. Your seedlings as always look so pretty. Carolina Cool Down X Crintonic Rain Dances 2 caught my eye and I hope it does well at your new place.

Edit: Forgot to ask, how would you compare Snow Crystal and Winter Treasure?

Hope things are going well with the upcoming move and you find your new forever home.

Julia - I would say Snow Crystal and Winter Treasure are very similar. Snow Crystal may be a teence more white. Winter Treasure used to be a good performer for me until the grubs got to it.

Giving up so many you like has to hard! Princess Diary is so pretty. And just the colors I like!! The seedlings look good. The Make It Snappy seedlings are so pretty. I really like the second one. Freedom of Expression caught my eye as well. Funny about your ”grudge” against Lydia!

I love the Freedom of Expression X, love the color and subtle pattern. So sad to see all those beauties leaving your garden. I bet they will all have good homes. Any possibilities for a new house yet?

Man that is so very hard!I am so sorry you are having to do this.

Kay - I have the hardest time with losing pinks and reds. The other ones don't bother me as much.

Kate - I wish you had picked Princess Diary instead of some of the ones you did. They are all weak growers that have been attacked by grubs except for Moon Shimmers. Rose Sensation is in recovery and does a bit better every year. ... I bought Lydia's Regal Robes for the express purpose of hybridizing with it. I never had success with pods or pollen from it, and that's a consideration when deciding who goes with me. I'm glad you like the Make It Snappy seedlings.

Sherry - Because I'm not closing on my house until the end of August or early September at my request, I won't serious be house hunting in person until July. I've seen houses online I've liked in May and early June, but sellers would likely never agree to pushing their closing out that far. In the area I want, most housed get snapped up within three to 14 days. I'm glad you like the Freedom of Expression seedling. I think it's a very unique spatulate.

Giving up Princess Diary would be hard for me too. It's gorgeous. On the plus side of your move, your pinks will hold their pink color better up north and may not "pale" out as much during the milder summers.......That's a glowing color on your Make It Snappy seedling. Interesting to see what that color does in your new home............Maryl

Maryl - With global warming, Indianapolis has had similar weather to Nashville the past three years. When we were in the 90s, they were in the 90s too, although not quite as high as here.
