Kevin,
Thanks for the advice. I really am enjoying your book and of course it's making my plant list longer and longer, much to my husband's dismay. But so are the websites this forum (and your book) mention. In fact, I just received a box from the Perennial Obsessions Nursery and will be opening after typing this (very exciting). I recently ordered your 'Pink Lotus' and 'Black Lotus' semps (from MCG) and I'm cautiously watching them to ensure they settle into their new home. Fingers crossed! You've made so many wonderful semps. Thank you. I read you also hybridize other plants. Amazing! Thanks again.
And thank you to all. This site really has been helpful with plant information and its thread discussions.
