I am looking for these Echinacea seeds. If you have any of them, please let me know and let's trade! Thanks :-) Carol

Thank you all. Rick, we had heavy rain all week last week. Most of the blooms felt off, but 1/3 still hang on and now perk up. They do look pretty but not as full. One week of rain ruin most of the blooms in my garden. (good for my grass). Marie

Hmmmm! Heirloom x Bronze Star. Such a crap shoot what you're going to get - which makes it SO VERY interesting!! I mean you take a lavender rose and cross it with a bronze rose. I would think you would get a mud colored rose. But no - out comes a pale pink with violet edging. Name possibility - Lavender Star Gemini X Midas Touch - looks like Midas Touch just plopped on top of Gemini!! Really interesting how the first seedling is a new blend of colors and the second seedling is like two stuck together!! Possible name - Golden Touch (like it's slowly turning Gemini into gold) Brigadoon X Scentimental - looks like a HUGE rose!!! Very similar to Secret, but much "poofier" and larger. Do you know if stripes are recessive, unpredictable or how they come about? Well done!! I LOVE looking at hyrbridizations. So interesting!! Carol

thanks mulio and dickiefickle I will look for the spreader sticker. we got lots of rain again last night :( Looks like I have a few days to wait. I want to keep the blight away. So far so good. I get nervous when it rains and washes away my protection. I know some of the spray stayed on because I can see some at the tips of the leaves. I guess I can wait to see what the weather will bring. I don't want to use more chemicals than I have to. Karen
