I'm really loving this one. at first thought it was very similar to Marmalade but it's quite different. much smoother leaf w/o the ruffling.

All beauties, love that Lime Rickey and Obsidian combo. Could your unknown be Raspberry Ice? Are the flowers dayglow pink?

Very pretty Peggy! I think the last is CW also. I dug up just about all my Heuch. ect. and have potted them up to take to new house with the hosta. I figure they would like the woods better than all this darn full sun. Not in the contract, but I'm hopeing the new owner won't notice them being gone, LOL.

I love the pictures! They help me too, because I'm starting my collection and those colors are very appealing to me ;)

Lucy, pick up some lattice and have Jay create some temp shade. I have a Hydrangea that's getting about an hour too long of late morning sun and the lattice really gives it a breather.

Thank you all for the compliments. I'm really loving all the new colors and textures they're coming out with. They sure create some stunning combos in the shade gardens.

Kelly and Linda, I'll go with your i.d. of CW. I got this before I started keeping good records. :oops:
