Oh Jodi...quit that! LOL!!! I'm the craziest hippie gardener is the truth. Sometimes I wonder why am I doing all of these. 200 plus of pots of ammies WILL give you flowers almost all year round in this zone. Most of the ones in the group shot are just my ammies from last season coming back from their winter dormancy (not forced). Each variety has their own time table on when to bloom. Some bloom earlier, some later. Your collection will be doing the same next season if you let them go dormant this coming winter. For now, just keep on taking very good care of them as you are. Remember the "After Bloom Care"...What you provide them now will greatly affect their performance next season. I suggest you let them have what's best for them...sunlight. Blanca...Keep up the good work specially with the "little ones". Most probably they might not bloom again this season. It is their growing/leafing out season right now. here in my zone anyway. Provide them with all the caring they need for they will sleep early (specially the Sonatinis), earlier than the large flowered ones. Remember my email to you? Elizabeth...Pink Star is a darling. It only gives out 4 flowers/scape but as I mentioned, it can flower 3 times/year. I just got in some bulbs from RC and in fact had another Pink Star included in it. It is a "pretty in person" variety...lol! Striped Panther...What could I say? Intriguing??? Noid Sonatini shall be named "Vanessa" for now. That's until the Dutch growers register it. Such a beauty deserves a name. There were 3 bulbs of this that came in the first shipment. Raydio and Soultan got one each. I will try to start a thread on the Dutch sonatinis. Our bloomer for today, Aphrodite. After blooming last Fall before it was put to rest, still gives out 2 scapes with huge flowers as it wakes up this season. Very reliable double even if it's flower color is temperature sensitive. Just a reminder: How to have flowers, flowers and more flowers... Here is a link that might be useful: After Bloom Care

eventually- but it takes two months or so for them to rebloom- and in that time, they're usually tall enough to be mowed again. I had the same problem with the thyme planted in my garden bench- I love my bees, but several friends are fairly reactive, and one's downright phobic, so I tend to trim them before a party, and put the flowering tips in a little bowl to enjoy :)

I don't know how you would classify the throat/eyezone on Morning Mood. The green throat is large and radiating, merging with a whiter eyezone. Yes, Kay, Stone Beacon is very large, both plant and flower. That's one reason why it ended up in the hospital bed. it was taking too much space. It is a wonderful landscape plant.
