do not have nice pictures that we are keeping.

This one is a seedling of Ms. Kennedy

interesting flowers in that are no two
alike.

Margaret really likes this one for it's

only "A" sized but looks bigger in the
picture.

Ted really likes this very small
miniature formal decorative in bright
red. It is two inches or so in diameter
and has lots of blooms on 3.5 foot tall
bushes. Nothing like it out there.
Margaret used it in her arrangement
called "Strawberry Fields Forever"
and it was the strawberries. Click here
to see it.

This B SC OR did really well in 2009.
Visitors to the gardens were really
attracted to the bushes and walked a
long way to see it up close. Grew 6 feet
tall and flowers were well above the
bush. Should have taken a picture of the
bushes.

few red spots on a white background.
