Vicki......'Barbara Mandrell' is a wonderful plant. I started with 2 fans planted 2 yrs ago. I now have 8 fans, and will have to divide it soon. It's like the energizer bunny....it just keeps going and going. But the odds of getting a picture like the one above are rare as our bloom season is shorter than those of you who live in warmer locations. However, BM will keep blooming even when the temps dip, which starts on Wednesday when the highs will fall to 55 daytime temps. after a cold front moves thru on Tues. nite. Ugh!
Char...I love each of the blooms you posted. Your 'Keys to the Kingdom' is a gorgeous bloom. Simply classic and lovely. Your gardens must be exquisite.
