I got my order from spring garden

It's a beauty..looks like it will be worth waiting for.

This one was a nice surprise. It is a nice soft yellow. Double River Wye, another one from Lilies in the Valley. My Startle has buds, so the waiting will soon be over.

that is a nice one did you get lots of buds ?

You know, reading all this stuff about hems. Makes me just sick (with my memory). I used to know all the iris & lilium names. Rest of my garden was 'yellow hem', dark coral bells, etc etc. then I met you bunch - especially Echoes - who always knows EVERYTHING - rats -

Now I have to try and remember full names of veronicas, poppies, hostas, etc etc. on and on it goes.

I'm on another list called cold zone, where we have a hosta queen, martagon lily queen , african violet queen and so on and so on.

I always thought I knew quite a lot about plants. Well I do, just not their full name.

Amen, going out to contunue fighting with new fence I'm putting up.

I have taken to thinking, you don't have to know everything, just enough. What's enough?

Here is a pretty one..called Red Select.
It was a gift from my brother.

I like that one how big are the blooms?

Hi Shawn,
It is about 4 in. across..
The colour is richer darker red and more velvety looking than in the photo.
