Far too many incredible new pix to comment, but have to agree that that last landscape shot of intercessor's in absolutely gorgeous. Want to look at it again and again.

Diann said it's a bumper crop year, and it does look that way for her and others, but not here. The only new blooms I've got are Ariadne and Karen North, neither of which have I gotten a good photo of, and LA Fangio, which has come back from the dead. I dug up the bulbs and gave them to a friend a couple of years ago. I'm sorry I did let it go, 'cause the color on this baby is really pleasing to me now. Funny how the sensibility is constantly changing.

Originally got two pots of Fangio some years ago from Craig Bergmann's nursery up near WI.... he's a local landscape designer who for a while had the most sublime nursery/garden center, but no more, sadly. Just felt like reminiscing... maybe some of you around here got to his place? It seemed an interminable drive, and my heart pounded the whole way.

By the way, it's interesting to me that Ariadne has withstood this swampy spring where Eurydice and Ann North, for two, have not.
