I have 11 of Richards introductions, Repeated Discovery, Coral Majority, Clarification, Ida Mae Norris, Ashwood Bloom With A View ( Robarts-Norris), Blushing Escapade, In A Cheerful Vein, Enduring Charm, Bryan's Song ( Robarts-Norris), Buttermilk Pie, and Joe Burrow. They are all great garden plants for me. I have used quite a few in my hybridizing the last 3 years. My 3 favorites are probably Buttermilk Pie, Ashwood Bloom With a View and In A Cheerful Vein. I remember Jan's excitement when you showed my Wife Joanne and I " In A Cheerful Vein" growing in their garden before it was introduced. I didn't realize she had passed away in January, she was a wonderful person. We know it takes time to deal with the passing of a soul mate and I hope that Richard has a good support group around him.. My wife lost both of her parents last year and it's taken her awhile to deal with the grief even though they were both 96 and were in good spirits until the end.
