You probably already know that Barry Blyth lives in Australia, and their bloom season is the exact opposite of ours (Oct-Nov-Dec). Each year he posts his new introductions on his website (www.tempotwo.com.au) on Oct. 1, so this year's new introductions are all listed as 2009. However, for the last couple of years Keith Keppel has actually introduced one to three of Barry's several months ahead of his Australian introduction date, plus starting last year he has a separate section in his catalog devoted to many of Barry's varieties. Keith probably has the largest selection of Barry Blyth varieties (over 125) of anyone other than Barry. Last year Keith introduced three for him: Adoree, Carnival Capers and Fashionista. And this year he has introduced one, which I did not see in his garden but my sister was able to capture: ANOTHER WOMAN |
