It's now 88.6 with a "feels like" 95 and I'm in from sorting dahlias held over the winter to enjoy the AC until I face finishing the job and getting them planted on Sunday when it is supposed to be around 70 degrees.

I do love helping newbies though I am an oldbee in many senses. It's easy to be lustful for clem's, roses and irises! I'm sure we had a thread about our favorite clem's and if I find it I'll post a link for you. A lot depends on your favorite colors.

It's somewhat obvious that Omoshiro is my absolute favorite but there are so many beauties that there's no need to select just a few as long as you have the room to grow them. In many cases pruning is optional.
