GardenSox, I didn't know Smith & Hawken went out of business. I know at the 2009 San Francisco Flower and Garden Show everything in their booth was outrageously priced. Way over the top.

Gee Marilyn, another Berkeley Bot sale I cannot go to. I wish you had the member previews on Saturdays. Friday is date night and I much rather spend it with Tom. We so rarely miss one. It is the one night we really enjoy.

Oh GardenSox, I so need a irrigation system. I hand water everything! I have loved the rain all this month. It has been great. Sometimes I wish we had rain in the summer.

Yes Sue, that is the one that I love but I prefer the flowers that have no green but are solid. The dusky deep rose is so perfect and the flower so big. Oddly enough many of my Lime Bicolors have no green at all; they should be called raspberry monocolors. LOL I wonder if those are different. The ones I just bought are mounding not trailing. Though the one that came back from last year may start trailing any minute.

My Pretty Much Picasso have never opened that wide yet!

Don't you love this big rich colored bloom?
