    Hi Guys all looking good I will upload a few pics in the week rather than a drib and drab , plus my batteries need to be charged to be honest

    Simbad I have one that you will recognize but the magpie pulled the label out it only had the one flower because of gall midge but it does look amazing I have manged to cross a few as well , sorry to say but I am too lazy to look to see if they can be , I just go ahead and do it but I have put labels on them all , " gold Elephant will be open in the next day or two I love this one but still only 1 fan !!!

      Land Of Cotton :wub2:I really like the form on that one. I would have tried it with Trahlyta. My plant of Trahlyta isn't doing much, but that is the chance I take with the dormant types. :cry3:

        I'm going to do 2 lists I think Spruce of which are dips and which are tets I spend ages looking through my list to see which can be crossed :rolleyespink:, that'll make it easier :biggrin:
        Land of Cotton is a nice one isn't it, ooo another cross to try :dbgrtmb:

        A couple I missed this morning :biggrin:, I really love this one only problem the scapes are really low so the flowers are a bit hidden by the leaves, does anyone else grow this one and have the same problem? or is it just me its hiding from :).

        And thought this clump looked lovely today this is quite an old variety but really is lovely and it reblooms, only problem is it never flowers the year after division always the year after but luckily I have loooads of clumps so I stagger the divisions.

          Do just one list and note what it is. It isn't a problem remembering the name, just if it's a DIP or TET;)
          Canadian Border Patrol is my problem runt. It gets full sun, but stays a foot tall. I don't know what to do about except maybe move it somewhere else.:scratch:

          Yes I've done that Wylie in my little exercise book:heehee:, trouble is with 182 of them there are several pages to look through to find which I'm looking for, thought maybe if I split them into dips and tets less to look through or maybe write them in different coloured ink :ideaIPB: on a very large sheet of paper :heehee:
          Its strange how differently they perform in different gardens I was just looking today and wondering why the heck I put 'Curly Cinnamon Windmill' at the front of the bed its 4ft tall!!!!!! and does look fantastic but looking at its registered height on Tinkers it should be 2ft 4inch!!!, I've often had them lower than their registered height in the first year but never taller, also I'll post a picture later of 'Siloam Showgirl' which I split a couple of years ago the two divisions are completely different one is as it should be 4inch flowers foot and a half tall the others 3ft tall with flowers that must be 6inch across :scratch:.

          I had one similar to Land of Cotton open today:
          Big Kiss x Style Plus.JPG
          This is Big Kiss x Style Plus. Since I had another double of the Big Kiss x Creative Design that I posted the other day open as well, I crossed the two. The main drawback to this one is that it is dormant. But I found out it will rebloom and now has 2 scapes.
          Frequently I will get two fans of something, and they will come seperated, so I plant them in different areas. They often act differently. One piece of an Eder sdlg is reblooming, the other not. They also flower on different days, so I get to use them more.

            'Canadian Border Patrol'

            'Miss Jessie' love this one, not increasing very fast though I might move it.
            016.JPG
            'Lake Effect' the picture really doesn't do this one justice it has a lovely silver glittery wire edge, very pretty.
