Hi Dave,
How great to hear from you. I should make sure that I give you credit for some of my best clems so far. I think I mentioned in one of my threads that my mature plants came from SSV and from you, but if I didn't, let me give you credit for my multiblues, Henryi, Gypsy Queen (one of my favorites), Jackmanii, and John Warren (also a favorite.) I don't want to advertise for you too much because I want first choice next spring when you have a new supply ready. I will be watching for them.

I'm glad you finally broke away from your GH long enough to visit the forum. I can imagine how busy you have been. Thank you for your kind remarks. Can you believe Henryi still has a couple of large buds? Your vines were just as large as SSV's and grew just as fast. The two Presidents I bought from you most recently are growing like a weed as well. I will post a photo of Henryi since he did so well. It was taken June 7 when the first bloom opened at the top of the trellis.

We still want to build a GH before first frost, but we're waiting for cooler weather for that project.
