Sorry I've been not checking the site lately. Have been digging up my spuria and bearded iris seedlings and trying to get them rowed out and the discards given away. The semps and Siberian iris are next.
Also will be on TV this weekend on Garden Time talking about Heleniums. and yes I'm hybridizing them too!
So sorry about your plantings Greg. BIG HUG! If you need plants, let me know. I moved my 'Max Frei' as I had it in a bad spot. Hopefully it will look as good as yours.
Chris your rock garden is gorgeous.
Have taken a bunch of photos of the new seedlings plus some of the selections from this spring. One of those FAT ones is amazing, close to 10" in diameter and really looks like more like an Echevaria. The groups from Borscht X sib and Heart of Darkness X Borscht are showing some incredible colors, patterns and shapes. Also have some extremely thin and extremely wide leaved seedlings and a TINY roller, about the size of a dime at maturity and with all sorts of leaves packed densely. It's going to be such fun at the clinic next spring.
