Sorry folks already spoken for. I thought I'd post here so Dot can see what she will be receiving in the Spring!
I also wanted to express an idea that Dot I have been participating in and it may already be taking place behind the scenes. It's and old idea, " A Plant Swap" its a wonderful way of preserving special hybrids and species long after we have departed this wonderful world! Personally the more divisions I can pass a round the better chance the plant has. Another possibility is plant recognition. Say someone has an awardable plant but not able to get it to a judging center, a show or they just have a difficult local judging system, Swap! I'm sure if and when I bloom plants I've gotten from others they will be taken in for judging.
The left is 'Blondie', the right is 'Melinda's Best' (P.S. The sink bug stays with me)

'Melinda's Best', a note of the double flowers spike!
