I'll weigh in with my opinion. A hubrichtii deals with drought better, but the flowers are less quality and lesser duration/quantity, but superior foliage (fineness and autumn color...but not every year). Slower growing. A illustris (my favorite) is a much stronger (and taller) grower, doubles easily as an annual shrub reaching 5 1/2 feet when mature. Foliage remains shiny crisp all season, requires more water than hubrichtii, but deals well with drought when established. Autumn color is usually yellow...probably as dependably as hubrichtii. Flowers over a longer period, due to a proclivity to take a second flush of growth about two or three weeks after the last flowers fade...and bloom again on that. I can't say I tried tabernae montana, but a botanical gardens testing (don't recall where/which) backed up my opinions as well on the above too. As to bloom, I usually got a tiny bit of bloom on 2nd year plants, fair bloom on 3rd, etc. They're not 'quick' plants to bulk up...but sure look good when they do...something like baptisia.

Hi Amazin , sorry I'm new at this web stuff ( mostly just a lurker) and couldn't find were I wrote to you the 1st time ... me feel so dumb with this puter stuff... but yes I have 9 begonias and 6 are from Logee's, some are named and other are ( pass a along's ) ..... Named ones= Begonia " Richardsiana" B." Snow Capped " B. "Tea Rose" B. "Hot Tamale" B. "Good and Plenty " B, "Tiny Gem " B. " Silver Queen " The Richardsiana has in pass week took a big flop , and so not sure whats up with it , taken it back into house , hope it was just heat stroking from 100 + daze we have been in for pass couple of weeks here in nastyville , so not sure about it. Two other's unknown named ones but pretty just the same and last one I think mite be B. " Sophia Cecile " not sure. I see you have " My Special Angel " have been looking at it in the catalogs . sorry I'm so long winded.... but sure there must be something in your long list that we can work with . P.s. I wont make it to any plant swap so..... not sure how we would do this if we've a mind to ???? But thanks for your time and effort if thats the only way .

Salvia lyrata The list below are plants that have all been found growing and thriving in the wild of the most warmest gardening regions. Many have hybrids that have been bred from them...these hybrids generally will be able to also grow in and thrive in the same sub-tropical environment. Please do research them if you're unsure of their hardiness in your particular zone or region, and as always, with any seeds that you're unsure can be winter sown in your region save some seeds to start indoors. Good luck to all!

Molie, I have a few white daylilies, but 'Light the Way' is really quite stunning. I also love 'Delia O'Brian Brown'. Steve, I can smell those lilies through the screen! And I'm sneezing! LOL! I really love the look of lilies, but I'm so allergic to them. Tried them for a couple years but just had too many issues. Then the beetles came.......then I really gave up. Will have to continue to enjoy your great photos! Isn't Marie's garden awesome?! I'm so glad Barb took pics while we were there. One of those gardens that is just so much fun to stroll around and find all the cool stuff planted. Such a wide variety. Claire, my viburnum was flowering beautifully, until they all started to turn brown, shrivel up and fall off. So no berries for me this year. I was just happy that the shrub appears to be OK. I was a little worried when the flowers were giving it up. I really like that carefree delight rose. Soooo pretty. Rooguchi clematis has been a blooming powerhouse for weeks. It doesn't show much sign of slowing down yet. Mohawk viburnum with its beautiful berry display. I love the way they change colors over time. Sorry for the blurry photo. I really need to ditch my point and shoot and go back to my D-SLR. But you get the idea. It's loaded with berries.....and the birds and critters never eat them. The daylily bed never disappoints. Delphiniums are now all cut down in cottage area. Hoping for a repeat bloom this fall.
