I see that Mid America has many of it's new introductions listed for this year now. Some don't have pictures, but they do include the seedling numbers, so if anyone happened to have been there to see them and take pictures and knows the seedling numbers, they could supply us with a connection to a picture and a name????? Hint, Hint, Hint. Now, who do we know who went there and took pictures. Hmmmmmmmmmm Whistling Hilarious! Smiling

#4 would top my list. Of course I am really interested in the new SDBs & will be waited for the catalog for study. tom has posted some on facebook, but we don't see those together like Brad is showing the TBs.

Tom, I think some of the non-pictured ones in the catalog have been posted on their Facebook page.

Niki.. Your Welcome Smiling glad you liked some of them

Les.. I guessed 5 would be your favorite it has horn's Smiling

Lucy.. The little guys were finished when I got there so no clump pictures.. we were there the week before convention and they were having storms so what was open went fast.

Jane.. Your Welcome and more to come from Oregon were heading to Mr. Keppel's next Smiling I have some wonderful Plicata's to show you.

Jan.. I have the same problem would like to have one of each Rolling on the floor laughing

Tom.. I think I have pictures of some of there new ones but did not get a lot of clear pictures of the tags so would be guessing.. and some seedlings are very similar .. there labels are pushed up close to the plants so hard to read without pulling it out and the camera lens I used did great for flower pictures but it did not focus well on the tags and I didn't figure it out till I was home Shrug! . But I may be able to find some of them here's a example of the tag pictures impossible to read for me

Here is the last group of seedlings I have to share from Mid America for the year guys hopefully everybody found at least a couple to look forward too from them. It was a lot of fun walking there rows and taking pictures of all these beauties I kinda had the same reaction Mary Ann did while I was there Big Grin I'll need more space to many Must Haves !!

Such an array of blooms. There is something here for everyone to love, and for some of us everyone of them is to love. I go from photo to photo and keep reselecting a favorite.... and then I go back again. lol

I agree with Bonnie, the longer I look the more I keep changing my thoughts. Guess I will have to get them all some day. Hilarious! I guess right now the first two really grab me, and the last one before the clumps. I love the first clump, and the violet with blue beard clump is very cool. The last clump the orange with brown shoulders is unique.

Brad, do you happen to have an individual flower picture of Tom Johnson's Vanity Girl? They are offering it as a bonus this year, but they are showing it as a dimly lit clump on their site. The description sounds lovely, but I would love a better pic.
