  1. Lee & Jean: I love this year's introductions for their amazing variety - purple, red, gold, all with great substance. This year's seedlings really stopped me in my tracks though as the red bloodlines you have been working on look like they all came together this year. It must have been an exciting season watching this year's seedlings bloom.
    I tried to pick a favorite but found myself going from one bloom to another, from the light-edged ruffled petals to the deep green hearts, from the deepest red petals to the glowing bright chalky centers. Choosing next year's introductions certainly won't be easy!
    I have my fingers crossed that your new Doc will have some bright ideas too that will help your heart beat stronger.
