| AV bug has struck me. I want to order 5. I am ordering from Lyndon Lyon. No color preference, but would like easy and heavy bloomers. I want to place my order today. Any suggestions? |

| I also suggest Live Wire. Seems to be a pretty good bloomer, plus the blooms are huge si it only take a few to make the plant look all around ...bloomy. :-) |

| Lyon's Plum Pudding has proved to be a reliable bloomer. It has surprisingly become one of my favorites - very hardy and very healthy. |

| I have the Cool Mint now and I love it! Well, the leaves anyways. As a newbie (but I blame the weather) I can't seem to get the love to bloom. Then again I just got it a few days ago... Anyways, I would go for any of the minis! So cute, so tiny! And always room for another 5? ^ ~* |

| Empress ... Regarding Cool Mint ... keep it healthy and give it plenty of light, ... and it will bloom for you. |

| Have you settled on Standard varieties? I grow mostly mini and semi-miniatures - I'm fairly certain Lyndon Lyon carries: Kentucky Gooseberries - Extremely easy and heavy blooming semi-miniature. Precious Red - One of the best minis. Plumberry Glow - Heavy bloomer, variegated foliage. Semi-miniature. A few others that LLG doesn't carry: Shirl's Hawaiian Lei - Exceptional mini. Dolores' Royal Prince - Easy, heavy bloomer. Excellent symmetry. Miniature. Rob's Fuddy Duddy - Symmetrical, dark foliage. Heavy, non-stop bloomer. Semi-miniature. -Tim |
