Many people think i am crazy when I tell them i don't need many doubles. give me beautifully formed singles that give me those big flushes several times a year. I have at least 17 doubles, they are beautiful but I will have far less blooms on them then on my singles.

I will add, after they get to their peak of maturity they will give you better shows. I have a 4 year old golden lady who is just wonderful, blooms all summer and perfect blossoms every time. Temperature as well as maturity can play a big part in how they bloom.

I find New Orleans Lady also has wonderful perfect blooms right from the start and I have never had a deformed bloom on her. I personally do not care for the doubles with separated or consistant stuffed skirts.

If you are looking for a beautiful brug with great color and wonderful form try Painted Lady, she can't be beat. At least in my eyes, I love that brug. Check out this new one from Delisa Harvey, it is called Fleming Island Mentor, I was lucky enough to get to trial it.
