These are G-K full formed cultivars - just a few - that I really liked this season.

Mort's GOD SAVE THE QUEEN:

GET JIGGY doesn't always show a lot of pattern here. It did a few times this season!

HOLY GUACAMOLE by Jeff Salter:

GOLDEN CHILD ( geez, w/o looking I think it's Nicole Harry's)

Karol Emmerich's fabulous HEARTBEAT OF HEAVEN:

One I don't have yet but absolutely lusted after in Tim Bell's garden was HENRIETTA MCINTYRE. This is one of Tim's newer intros:

JERRY HYATT by Curt Hanson:

INTELLIGENT DESIGN, another by Karol Emmerich.

INTO THE EVENING:

JACKIE KROPF ( Morss):

JELLY FILLED DONUT (by Nancy Eller) got a lot of attention at this year's convention:

JELLYROLL MORTON was new in the garden this year from Curt Hanson. Color needs to stabilize a little bit still.

JENNIFER TRIMMER by Dan Trimmer:

That's all for now!

Sort by:Oldest

Really beautiful blooms. My favorites tie between GOLDEN CHILD (love the form and color) and INTELLIGENT DESIGN which is one of my very favorite Emmerich intros.

Oh my goodness!! As I was scrolling down, basking in the beauty of each bloom, I kept saying "this ones my favorite"... no wait, "this ones my favorite"..."Oh, now THIS ones my absolute favorite"....and before I knew it, they were ALL my favorite! How could anyone actually choose ONE of these stunners? I want them all...LOL. You have outdid yourself here. Each & every one of them has me captivated. Some I haven't even heard of and now I'm off to research them. Uh oh. DH better hide the credit card! Thanks for your gallery of loveliness. Celeste

ART ATTACK came from a daylily friend in AL. She had gotten it from Vic when it first came out but it ( 2 years before, maybe?) but it was too dormant for her climate. We trade from time to time. I send her plants which are too tender for here and she sends me plants which are too dormant for there! It works well. Vic is at Iron Gate Garden in NC.

Thanks! Although CRADLE OF BETHLEHEM is still new, I really like it too. That image was taken the night I got back from our Regional meeting. I didn't walk outside until nearly 8 PM and it had first bloom that day! I'm a little surprised that so many like the orange one- DREAMSICLE SUPREME!( well, you can probably tell that I'm more partial to purples)Here is another one from Nicole Harry that I forgot to post. This is FIRE CORAL: And can't believe I forgot this one under the E's and F's. This is ELVIS:

Thanks Masha! Don't worry, I'll keep 'em coming from now on. They're popping out like weeds. Les, CANDLELIGHT is really turning into a beautiful rose. I got it from Hortico a few yrs ago, and it gets better every yr. CREDIBLE JUSTIFICATION is an iris I've had for a looooong time. It's in the first oddball bed. Goes well in there! Ramblinrosez, the bugs go after the irises a little bit. Not so much on the blooms as on the leaves. However, there's always these teeny tiny little bugs crawling in and around the beards and the base of the blooms. They don't really seem to hurt the blooms, but I have to blow them off the petals so they don't show up in the pics. Kathy, the irises are growing in amongst the roses. It's probably not such a great idea. If you don't get them dug out every 3-4yrs, they crowd the roses. Thanks Organic... I love IRISH CREAM. But then I love all the "oddballs." LEAD DOG is really hard for me to photograph. It's planted in a semi-shady area and it's hard to get good indirect light. It's a very different color combination. Once again, what I like!! Thanks Kate! The way the irises are opening up, you might wanna get down here soon!!! I'll be here this Sunday. My only day off. Lemme know if it's a good weekend for you.

Wow! Those are gorgeous! Is Henrietta Mcintyre really that purple in Bell's garden? It is lovely!

But you have so many beauties here. Intelligent design bloomed and bloomed for me. Jennifer Trimmer is gorgeous. Jerry Hyatt, Heartbeat of Heaven....no way I can pick one from these. Beautiful.

Kay, I was at the Bell garden in the morning and as you can see, the picture was shot in a shady area. Yes, it really looked that way! In the full sun, it probably wouldn't look nearly as nice, but I try to avoid full sun shots when at all possible. Did I mention that I absolutely lust after that daylily - purples tend to make me weak in the knees.

I really love the shot of God Save the Queen. I just ordered that one from Maryott's. Others that make want to grab my checkbook are Get Jiggy, Intelligent Design and Henrietta McIntyre. Thanks for sharing your photos. They are gorgeous, as always!

You could save me a lot of time trying to find all of the cultivers you have posted this summer but simply digging up your garden and shipping it all to me. lol

God Save the Queen has been a fave of mine growing here. Got some nice babies out of it too which is a plus. You have so many nice ones here, impossible to pick a fave so I pick them all starting with Jellyroll Morton...BEAUTIFUL PICS!
