Doris - love them! I have several unnamed ones blooming, and that gorgeous little wanda that Kellie gave me last year is blooming it's heart out too. Many more are growing, just haven't opened up their flowers yet.

Not Andi - but I have some blooming

These are both seedlings from seed which was labeled as double - so far batting Zero. But I still love my babies.

If only the D@#! slugs would quit adjusting the petals they would look much nicer!
