I can identify, Sammy. The internet world is strange because no one can see your face or see your expression or even tell if you're a boy or girl. After awhile or years of reading what people think and seeing their gardens, it does seem like you get to know them, though. If it's any comfort, I've always known you are a girl. Whenever there are storms in Oklahoma/Texas I think about you and hope you are well. hi, Florence, this is my fourth spring here. Time has gone by so quickly. I loved the tea rose, Duchesse du Brabant, in the south, and I posted here under duchesse_nalabama, the duchesse for that rose. I still love those tea roses but I wish they loved me now! I've been looking at pictures of your beautiful Zeffy, New Dawn and Paul's Himalayan Musk for years now and loving them every time. I loved seeing your paintings, too. The garden looks mature because it's planted in polyanthas. They grow so well here and have filled in quickly. I'm still waiting for the own root gallicas and others to catch up. But soon, now, I hope. Ingrid, your Aunt Margy's Rose sure got some ooh's and ahh's at that polyantha thing I did. The polys seem to like acid soil and water, but I am thrilled that some of them do well for you. I would love to send you some of this rain we get. Since you were so kind as to come and look again, I'm posting some more pictures; at the risk of feeling like I'm boring people or showing off ... remember that conversation? Gardening here is a lot easier than some other places, but each spot has its challenges. Good gardeners just deal with what they have to, and you are a good gardener, Ingrid. Thanks for the comments, also. Tuscany Souvenir du Dr. Jamain Belle de Crecy I love Aptos Clearing out forest with pick, shovel and pruning knife The edge of the garden r. gymnocarpa has not seen this much sun for a long time, I don't think. I cleared all of the underbrush in front of it and it bloomed a little this year. Thanks for looking, Priscilla PollyLou

what a Gorgeous, vivid pink Cindee!! I don't think I've ever seen one like it! [at least at the places we have for amys] Good luck on all your crosses!!

Thanks so much for looking ;) Hi, Kay *waves* I have two other coneflowers that survived the winter and will soon color, so can't wait to see which they are! girlgroupgirl, thanks so much. I was almost twinkling with happiness at your comment, because I tend to crush my little artistic ego some years thinking I have a brilliant plan, and then throwing together some hideous combinations. Lol. This year I just tossed cosmos into lots and lots of container edges and that looks great, too.

As the orginal poster said, it's a Wright intro. Shown below is a link to their site. I know I will be paying them a visit, so don't buy them out. Hope this helps. Tom Here is a link that might be useful: Wrights Daylily
