Juli, I enjoyed your comments about Dr. Bob Carr. He was one of the first hybridizers I spoke to ever, and I vividly recollect walking in from school very late one day ( after 6 PM) - this was back in the mid to late 90's - and right as I walked through the door, my husband handed me the phone, saying, "this is for you." It was Bob Carr and during the entire conversation, I kept thinking, wow, I am talking to Bob Carr!! At any rate, I used to grow quite a few of his cultivars, and still grow a few. The vast majority were really good garden plants. Here are some have grown or still grow here:
