Good morning everyone...The stretch was a great suggestion, I've been neglecting to do that. Thank you! What I grabbed was a cup of Ovaltine (you know, calcium, vitamins) but I'll get a Starbucks mocha in a few minutes. going to run some errands now. Kathy, you have a burn pile too? We've been stockpiling things at the family farm waiting for a damp day when there is time and motivation (and no burn ban, or UW home game). It's still foggy and dreary here but tomorrow sounds like it could be a nice day to be outdoors and that's good timing - if I don't get some more Fall cleanup done I'll be greeting every parent in the neighborhood with pine needle mess and soggy fallen leaves as they escort their trick or treaters...Have a great weekend everyone. And, if you are in the habit of getting one...remember it's about flu shot time. We both got ours yesterday and bought one for our employee since our insurance doesn't cover them :)

You're welcome! I wouldn't try to base that kind of identification on scent. Scents (and noses) are too variable and fleeting. Plus, what scent name is given in the registration is up to the nose of the person filling out the form. What good is it if their nose isn't any "better" than yours, or if what they perceive as one scent, isn't what others perceive? Give me quantifiable characteristics any day! Kim

gnabonnand & others, how disease resistant is Rise n' Shine for you? I live in Dallas/Fort Worth. My plant just finished its first flush, lost all blooms and I realized it has few leaves due to BS. I am thinking about replacing it with some other buttery yellow mini. A nearby My Valentine seems to be holding up better but it still has lots of blooms which cover most leaves. Luis

I have nice,tho small, Scarlet Gem that was rooted last fall Mine is a very productive bloomer with well shaped blooms that are little on the orange side of red (but NOT orangey). check it out on HMF. I live in Keller and can exchange by mail Weldon
