Bihai, I just checked his list and I saw Bill. 'Allison Sill' on there. Maybe it was recently added. Hard to go wrong with 'Caramba'. That and 'Hallelujah' are on my list of classic favorites. I'm sure Michael has more than what's on his list too. If you call or email him and ask about any that you didn't see listed he may have one or two that he'd be willing to part with. Ask him if he's got any 'New Year's Eve' and either 'Bravo' or 'Hana Hou'. Those last 2 are siblings (B. vittata 'Domingos Martins' x 'Poquito Blanco'), and both are nice but you don't really need both of them. 'New Year's Eve' is super hot pink, I think you'd like it. As far as the Neos, I see some familiar names on there so I'm not going to argue with those! ;-) 'Screaming Tiger' is one of Sharon Petersen's crosses and if you liked 'Blushing Tiger' you'll like that one too. More compact form but nice dark banding and blushes red in the cup when it blooms. I saw a couple more of hers on your list ('Crimson Lace' and 'Amazon') and I don't have either of those, but if you're not in a big hurry I could maybe go over there some time next week and check them out, as well as whatever else of hers is on Michael's list that may not be pictured on FCBS. She probably has most of David Shiigi's crosses too. Unfortunately my camera got ahold of some bad acid and is hallucinating wildly, or I'd offer to take some pics. :-( I've never been too turned on by 'Hawaiian Rainforest', at least the pictures I've seen. Maybe it's nicer in person, I'd have to check, but I'd recommend you get 'Prince Kuhio', which is also a Shiigi hybrid. He does mostly concentrica-type crosses, and if you liked 'Kawika' you'll probably like 'Prince Kuhio'. You probably already have 'Ninja', but I see he lists a variegated clone, hmmm... I'd like to see that one! There's one that's been around here for a while that we all like but it had the cumbersome tag of "concentrica x european concentrica" so Sharon decided to call it 'Princess Di', and that's on the list. It has a medium-sized concentrica-type form, but instead of purple all the markings and cup color are bright glossy red. Looking at your other selections, I have a feeling you might like it. Another note-- I hope you didn't select "Razzberry Ripple" based on the picture of "Raspberry Ripple" on FCBS, because it's not the same plant. I don't have either one, but I see that the parentage is different, so you might be surprised at what you get with that one. Otherwise, looks like a good selection, go for it!

Sheshebop, I am another Sherry whose nickname is Sheshe, or often Sheesh. My wishlist: A Cuisinart FP, an oven stone and More Space! I can't bring myself to get rid of any of my stuff, and I just acquired all of my dad's stuff, too. I am getting a kick out of using his stuff (my brother got Dad's Cuisinart - nuts), but where to put it all? Also, a bigger Slow Cooker and a Santoku knife. I do love my Mezzaluna for all sorts of jobs, though. I really need to purge my kitchen....so I can buy more stuff!

I want a rotary blade that never gets chipped and never goes dull. Also, it would have a special coating that would prevent it from cutting fingers. And a beeper so if I lose it under a pile of fabric I could quickly find it. If anyone sees that for sale, please let me know. I also want one of those cool hanging gizmos I've seen in quilting videos so I could use cables and clips to hang my quilt from the ceiling while I'm quilting on it. No dragging and no effort to keep it off the floor while sewing. Great for free motion quilting! This isn't a picture of my house, but it shows what I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure DH would be certain I had lost my mind if I started drilling holes in the sewing room ceiling! (Sorry the picture is so big! I just copied the url address.)
