Ted, thanks so much! Also for the link. There is a show/sale here at end of May and, for once, i m doing some serious homework. I m very busy. Lol i m even going to bring my ipad, if their wifi is finished, or my cell phone to google. I have about 15. Some bloom and if all else fails i will stick with those varieties. But i also got a lot of suggestions here. I love this site!
