Harris Olson Spider Award candidate.  Very striking dark color.

Award of Merit candidate.  Despite being moved this spring, this cultivar is blooming as the champ it is.  It's not the form that's great, it's the performance that it delivers which has earned it as a favorite spot in so many gardeners' hearts.

Ida Munson Award candidate.  This is one of the most fascinating plants in my garden.  Consistently double, but it doesn't know whether it wants to be a poly or not.  Great plant habit, wonderfully vibrant colors!

Honorable Mention candidate.  Excellent plant habit and branching for me.

Award of Merit AND Lambert/Webster Award candidate.  (Brer Rabbit's Baby)  Great grower with good budcount.  Its form and color saturation always please!

Honorable Mention AND Harris Olson Spider Award candidate.  New here in '08, but still put on a nice show this year.

Award of Merit candidate.  A classic red screamer to brighten that dark corner of the garden.

Honorable Mention candidate.  Everyone needs a classy lady like this one.  Her color and form are lovely.

Stout Silver Medal candidate.  New to the garden last year, but performed nicely this year.

Don C. Stevens Award candidate.  Bold, clear colors, winner of the Dr. John Wente Hybridizer's Award in Region 3.

Honorable Mention candidate.  Just as the name suggests, the color is variable, but always pleasing.

Award of Merit candidate. Great grower, excellent budcount, really puts on a show.

Award of Merit candidate.  Never fails to please me!  The colors are complex and the intense movement changes from bloom to bloom.

Award of Merit candidate.  Classic spider, good performer in my garden.

Award of Merit candidate.  Jersey may be an oldie, but she's always a reliable performer here and sometimes graces me with repeat bloom, which I don't get from most other cultivars.

Award of Merit candidate.  Intense deep purple with excellent plant habit.  Everyone who sees it wants a piece.  One I'd never want to do without!

Stout Silver Medal candidate.  New to my garden, but seems like a strong grower.  Stunning blooms.

Award of Merit candidate.  Ned Roberts did not get the higher budcount that I do.  Very good performer and I love the combination of colors in this image.

Award of Merit candidate.  Starts blooming early-mid and is one of the very last to finish.  Super plant habit, love the radiation of the throat onto the sepals.

Don Fischer Memorial Award candidate - WRITE IN.  I confess, mini's are not my forte, but when I saw this in a local garden, I was amazed.  The perfect form and branching were awesome.  Write-in for me!  (This is the only cv not grown in my garden, I was that impressed.:))

Harris Olson Spider Award candidate.  Nicely branched, great increaser, passes its ruffled edges to its kids.

Honorable Mention candidate.  Widely variable in form, always a treat to see.  Excellent color and plant habit.

Honorable Mention candidate.  A rich, velvety red.  I've only had it two years but expect great things out of it - strong grower.

Award of Merit candidate.  Subtle, yet bold.  Super performer with great movement in every bloom.

Annie T. Giles Award candidate.  Naughty, she really is.  She started blooming mid-season for me and continued through mid-August.  Very long bloomer, lots of buds well spaced out.
