Ed Brown's Seedling is not so promising. Even Dr. Blanchard remarked about it's "basically sitting there and doing nothing". Mine has had only three buds this year, which wilt before fully opening. I deadheaded the last so called bloom from it this morning. Will replace it with another variety of that color. I told you my line-up wrong, it should be: a Hypericum (Albury Purple"), Ed Brown's, Appocalypse Now, Stop Light Heucherella, then Clarification daylily(dark pink with purple center). With another Albury Purple Hypericum in the center background of the border. The soil stays very thin and dry in this young border and the plants must compete with ancient lilac shrubs, so I have to make sure it doesn't dry out too much and mulch real well.

Floota; Yep,I done it again and have the wrong name on the first one.The right name for it is CHERRY VALENTINE. Rita, corrected me on it,and I knew she was right the minute she said it is NOT DRAGON KING.. I do use a Digital Camera, too,and it does have the auto focus on it.If it didn't , my photo's would probably be a lot worse :)I do not hold it at arms length, but don't hold it right at my face either.I probably have it 10 inches from my face most of the time,and hold my arms in close to my body to be able to hold the camera more steady.Too much trouble to get the tripod out,and I imagine the neighbors and passer bys think I am nuts anyway, out taking photo's of flowers. I can use all the help I can get to take better photos. Jean
