This Old Coot named John likes them

His bloomed about the time his Dayliles did. Camera was down when they bloomed so missed them. Sure hope to do better next year because they were beautiful. Large heads and full of color. Be interesting to see if they come back next year, after the horrible summer draughts (*still on) for the past two summers.

Those are beautiful, Sam. I can't grow them reliably here, just one zone too cold. I haven't tried them lately, might give it another shot next year and see if I can find a microclimate that will suit them.

Linda
Maybe the later flowering varieties that seem to prefer cooler weather would suit?
