| I grew HH Candystripe for a season, and enjoyed it, but don't plan on growing it again. I am tired of it... And until just now, I didn't understand why. I believe the tight variegation and the laciniated petals are just too busy for me. Shea's Rainbow and Colewood Cherie went bye-bye, too, for the same reason.   I also tired of Carmen Fiesta and Mingus Toni's blended variegations, perhaps the yellow undertones is what ran any charm quickly down for me.   Conversely, I really enjoyed Be A Sport (albeit the color scheme is not to my liking). The blunt petals deliver the bicolor punch in a rather delicious way that made me pause to enjoy the variegation inside. Granted, the form and color has a bit to be desired, and I would LOVE to see more of these consistent bi-variegates more readily available.    I still love the Blackberry Ripple, but am hoping to find a similar one with better stems and a shorter season of open centers. The crisp white background and purplish red flecks are endlessly interesting to me, and always makes me pause in the row to admire them.   For that matter, Hulin's Carnival is a constant wonder to me, as well... Perhaps the white background?  I love the look of Art Act and HH Bewitched, though. And HH Tigress was lots of fun, too.CC |
