Certainly Debra, you have permission to use the photo of Bella Sera.
Bella Sera just blew me away this year with the ruffles. It is a mature clump now,
so my guess is that is when it does its best. It came from Maryott's.
Cindy, Teresa, and Shannon, thanks for the super nice comments.
Ann and Betty, just wow. So happy you enjoyed them.
Dot, that seedling is sooo gorgeous. Can't wait to see it next year as well.
Also gives me hopes for the crosses made this year with Happy Happy. The
seedlings are up and growing. Now, if they just make it till spring to be
planted outside.
Born to Run is so much prettier than the photos. Can't seem to capture it's
real beauty.
Storm Shadows is another one that bloomed so well and so large. Also a
mature clump now.
These few made my day in a sea of plants that did not do as well.
Oops, edited to add that Hog Heaven was sickly this year, so not plentiful
blooms, but seeing those first blooms made it one of my favorites.
It is fine now, and has multiplied its fans. The rest of these were great.
