I always wanted to grow them.

Did you see any of them at the gardens, Surfered? They can be as much as 10" across!

I love the pompoms, too. Such perfection, every petal neatly in place.

I did not see any dinner plate size. I'm not very familiar with them as they won't grow where we live surfered Jul 22 #4
