I think you should be able to find a few that you like in that bunch of introductions. Tom Johnson has 78 new ones listed! Paul Black has 69! Holy Cow! There sure are some beauties among them too. I think I should just uproot all mine and start out with all new ones. Whistling

Don't forget they also have Lynda Miller's and Barry Blyth's new intros too! Hurray! All those intros and there are still a bunch I wish had been introduced. Especially some of Thomas' flatties. Ah well. Bad to complain when a bounty has been given to you to choose from!

I like that there are several later bloomers among them, I need more of them to have nice late blooms, early bloomers sometimes get frozen here or weather affected.

Tom - I have the opposite issue. Too late and they get zapped by heat.

Well, you know around here if you go outside and don't see your breath it's either July, or you died. Rolling my eyes.

I really tried to avoid going out to that site cause I am mumbling to myself along the way, here goes the allowance for 4 months, here goes busting this years maximum threshold allowed. And yes, by the wish list, this year is no different!

Yes they have beautiful medians and I am always amazed how their SDB's end up being as beautiful or even more beautiful in the garden then online. Their Pinks have just blown me away.

I haven't heard that one yet! Hilarious!

But basically that's how I feel. Once the snow is finally gone it feels like it's firework time...

Although just over one month into official winter and it hasn't been too bad. Hope I didn't jinx us the next 2 months! D'Oh!
