Paul those look fantastic you have some nice clumps there I will miss that next year, it will be a few years before I have some large clumps again,I was forced to dig everything and divide them all and I chose to plant in rows so it would be easier to keep track of long term. We had a early killing frost a couple weeks ago was sad to see it all go, we went to a football game in Minneapolis and I got back and everything was gone all the buds froze on the roses and annuals were black. I took a few pictures of some nice looking bulbs that I got from Superstiton gardens this year, and the bulbs I got from Barry in Australia that had wonderful increase. I even had a late bloom stalk but the frost killed it before it bloomed. The only bonus is our fall color for trees has been really nice, the cold nights and the drought has made the maples look really good this year.

This one had 10 increases
