Abilene Man of War impresses me with its bright colors and heavy gold edge. Lava Flow and Chubby Sam are nice ones too. That seedling is a pretty one to keep! Debra

Rosie Cotton's Ribbons is very pretty. I think I need to add lilies in the fall. I love hydrangeas and added a couple here but could always add a few more. Nice photos of your garden. Julia
