Thanks, Zoia.

I love Key to My Heart. Beautiful blooms and no rust. What could be better?

Purple Pinwheels was a bonus plant last year. So far, I like it.

I will try to post two days of photos here by memory trying to only post ones that I have not posted before or better photos than previously shown. My memory is not that great so there may be duplicates. I won't try to post them all, there are a lot of plants blooming now.

'Top Guns Dragonmeister':This is the first bloom on this plant in my garden, and when I saw it I asked myself "what the heck is that?" I knew it was a new plant to me, but for the life of me I could not place ordering anything like this new bloom.
So I looked at the name tag then had to look up the plant to see what this actually was. The plant was named correctly, just that it should have been a pretty double. I guess this is one of those plants that starts out single and then later doubles.

Wow, Larry. Great pictures! You have some that never did well for me. Roses in Snow bloomed one season and then didn't come back. Mister Lucky never bloomed and disappeared this winter. Omomucki is healthy but is late sending up scapes this year. I have it in a planter; that may be why.

I love Key Lime Hi, Fire on the Mountain, Snow Crystal, and Matthew Weldon. Lots of other nice ones there, too.

Nan, I thought 'Roses in Snow' was deceased a few times, it was never a strong grower here, but this year it has formed a nice clump and will get divided. I am surprised that "Mister Lucky' has not done well for you, it has always be a strong performer here. Omomuki is just getting started blooming this year, it always puts on a great show, but it will be divided next week for the regional plant sale table.

I was surprised about Mister Lucky, too. Oh well. Maybe I will try again sometime, but I don't know that I have room for it at the moment.

Was out puttering around just now and saw a couple of FFEs I missed earlier. They are both wonky blooms, way down in the foliage, which is probably why I didn't see them. I didn't even know Cast a Spell had a scape.

It looks as if it was trying to double. I am reasonably sure it is the right plant even though the blooms should be much prettier.

Sorry about the blurry pic. The cat was pushing on my hands as I was leaning way down to get a shot. I wish I had seen this one earlier--it is supposed to be purple with a white edge.

Dave, hoping my Violet Stained Glass kicks into action this summer!

Thanks, Zoia. Drums Along the Mohawk is a good Moldovan plant, a child of South Seas. I got it last year, and if it does half as well as its parent, it'll be worth keeping.
