Very nice Rebbecca, lovely deep colours. Erny this is the second time on seeing your Magic Crystal I have gone to buy it, no luck at the moment so I am hoping it is in the June update, sort of last chance saloon for me, my order is being shipped to Cambodia end of June, my second choise was Prosperity but looking at that Really Red as got me thinking, maybe I can squeeze another cv in haha, the suitcase I bought is huge so should be ok.

David, Magic Crystal is worth pursuing. It is one of my most prolific bloomers and the quality of the flowers is very consistent. My bush is still young but shows nice symmetrical upright growth.
You won't be disappointed with Really Red or Prosperity either. Really Red is one of the deepest reds I have seen. Both have good upright growth but Prosperity is fuller and more densely branched. Here are a few bush photos of the three. All three were planted last summer and are thus less than a year old.

John, Daisy Mae just never stops blooming. It's one of the tallest of all the ones I planted last summer along with Bridal Path, Inner Compass, and Palm Springs.
Some of today's blooms: Illuminati, Old Spice, Magic Crystal, and Prosperity.

Erny, if you like yellow blooms you might also like Canary Song.

I've been enjoying viewing all the bloom pics while out of town. Came back to mixed results for my hibs including one that bit it. Now I just want to see how quickly they will get back to peak form as a lack of water might have been an issue even with my newly installed drip system as my plants definitely looked thinned out. Yesterday was a grueling day of 12 straight hours cleaning up the yards but when I come back to blooms like Bridal Path it is so worth the hard work!
David I really hope you get Magic Crystal, it is just as Erny stated. My advice is just to get all three if available. You'll figure out how to fit them...

First bloom in about a year on my Prosperity plant. Glad she is finally looking getting back into prime form after the prolonged fight with wood rot.
