Harvest of memories is vert large in my garden. Good thing the stem is not that tall, otherwise it might fall.

Mesmerizer's blooms can be very large. Here it is planted next to Nouveau Riche for scale.

I would say in my garden,
Daughter of Stars, a luminata as well as a reliable re-bloomer.
. its blooms are 7 inches plus across.
And Fine Wine, a very good grower. Huge blooms.

And of course perhaps the biggest plant is a newly discovered natural hybrid called "Ming Treasure". PW http://www.perennialresource.c...

It will be available in 2023. I stole two pictures from its website. They are pretty!
