Oh dang. What will we do without Great Balls of Fire!! It is legendary, but not yet in my garden.

There are a couple of historics I really wanted to that are deleted.

Now if I could only find pictures of many of those added. Not having much luck on that end.

Wasn't there a scene in the movie Top Gun where the two actors were singing Great Balls of Fire at the piano (saying this innocently) Angel
Not sure what the name of that song was.

Edit: last night we went to see The Oak Ridge Boys. The Oak Ridge Boys introduced General Chuck Yeager. It was an honor to be in the same convention center as was General Yeager. Since General Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier he has my vote for having Great Balls of Fire.

From Wiki;

"Yeager's career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces.[1] After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer) and became a P-51 fighter pilot.

Yeager, who never attended college and was often modest about his background, is considered by som to be one of the greatest pilots of all time. Despite his lack of higher education, he has been honored in his home state. Marshall University has named its highest academic scholarship, the Society of Yeager Scholars, in his honor. Yeager was also the chairman of Experimental Aircraft Association's Young Eagle Program since 1994, and has been named the program's chairman emeritus"

A true hero..

I haven't had time to wade through all my wants with Superstition to make the order list yet. There sure are a lot on my want list.

Wish I knew the prices on some, and that I could find pictures on others. Really really need pictures on some. I may end up ordering a" mystery colored" iris anyway.
