Pretty cool! I never heard of Stella doubling.

Wow, it's pretty. Michelle the home depot in Roanoke has Happy Returns if your looking for these. I little the bright yellow of this DL.

Thanks Barb!
I actually bought 'Going Bananas' which is a child of Happy Returns, and is a beautiful, bright lemon yellow. They crossed 'Happy Returns' with 'Brocaded Gown' and now we have this lovely! On Tinker's it says it isn't fragrant, but mine sure was! It also does not say that it has extended bloom, but it seemed like the flower would open REALLY early in the morning and stay all night, sometimes even until early the next morning! I call that extended!

Here are some pics... just in case your interested:

Very nice blooms.My Stella's some times has a double or two at the end of the season.One of my clumps last year had a bout half come double and the other half regular at the end of the season.

Hmmm.. I wonder if it is more common than I thought! I thought of Stella as just a plain jane... not that it kept me from using her to cross stuff with... :o) Her habits are great!
