Sandy, you are smart. Once you start making like a bee, you end up with way too many of these. It makes it easier to off them when you have so many, though I still get qualms. Plus it is much cheaper to buy the best ones that catch your fancy even at ebay prices then to grow all of these. They suck your money right out of your pocket.

I was about to toss one in a 5 gallon pot and when I went to grab it on garbage day, it had at least 100 blooms on it. How could I? So I am going to try to unload it on some friends. I am hoping a DIL of a friend will want it if she sees it in bloom. No one I know wants anymore of these. I even ask strangers walking by. LOL. My mailman has 2.

Lali asked me for some for her niece and I ran and saved 3 beautiful standards from the toss pile at work. I was so happy to have someone to give them too. All beautiful hybrids but too similar to others already out there.

I just went outside to take the picture of the one that saved herself by putting out an admirable flush for a 5 gallon pot. It is 57 degrees, just after 7AM. I froze. The high today will be 64. Ruthie is changing color right in front of me. Shucks.
