I have a dozen plants on Plot 2 that I have been bringing on so the nursery see how it goes on heavy soil.

What a fantastic achievement jerry, and a lovely name ;D
Oooooh that's pretty! Pinks remind me of my dear gran :)
Pinks are my favourite flower, and that one's a stunner 8) Is it very fragrant, Jerry?
;D
Don't really do flowers, but think I may have just been converted! Gorgeous! What an honour to have a flower named after you. The family must be very proud

SNAP! "My fave flower" = the only one I would bother to grow. ::)
That is a seriously nice pink, tho, & if it had to intense perfume I associate with pinks, I'd buy it. Need any more triallers, Jerry? ;)
What an honour Jerry. I'm only just getting into pinks and this one is a beauty. Well done....................
P.S another volunteer offering here ;)
Thanks all.
We are all chuffed, especially mum.
It might take a while to get to market but fingers crossed!
And yes, nicely scented but not too much!

Can only echo what others have said Jerry. Congratulations to Ma and Pa.
Congratulations to your Dad, Jerry. I love pinks and the more varieties the better. I can imagine how proud your Mum must feel too, having such a beautiful flower named after her. It's really lovely. ;D ;D
