I absolutely loved the APS convention last year, Neal. Fell in love with some of the blooms, came home and ordered 2 of the most expensive roots I've ever bought, though. I really wish I lived closer to some of the big growers, I'd spend most of the spring walking through the fields!
Karen, I'm really hoping the roots I got from CFG survived, that's the bunch that stayed in the mailbox over night and were frozen when I opened it. I just let them gradually thaw in the garage, they still seemed firm with no soggy spots when I planted them so I'm hoping I didn't kill them before even getting them in the ground! I'm planning to post pictures of every variety that I have bloom this year! So excited for bloom season!
