Larry, methinks you've been hanging out at High Altitude Seeds, aka Seeds Trust, home of Bill McDorman.

I've grown all but Aurora. Actually when Bill first brought back all of his Siberian ones, Craig and I bought ALL of them, split the seeds in each pack ( I remember we were shorted), , and grew them out.

I've grown all that you name except for Aurora.

If any of them had stood out in my mind as being exceptional I know I would have remembered that. As it was, all were OK, but nothing special, in my opinion.

The heart shaped one, Grandpa's ####'s Plume was pretty good though.

What is your interest in the Siberians he lists? If an early variety, look further with few exceptions, at least for the ones you list.
