Unfortunately I got these too late in the season to use them on oriental poppies this year and had used some older rings. I'll put them on early next spring.

Comments about Gathering Rings:

When I first took these out of the shipping box I was worried the size I purchased was way too tall for my dahlias. As time went on and the dahlias grew straight and tall and perfectly supported, I realized I'd actually made the perfect choice. I can't say enough good about this product. I also use them for my tomatoes and albutilon [sp.?] plants. Couldn't be happier w/this purchase.

These are great for my thin-stemmed tall flowers such as painted daisies. Makes it easy to gather the stems, yet doesn't keep these bouquet type flowers from looking like straight-up soldiers.

I am using the plant support for tall bulb flowers that are growing in groups, along with the similar product that holds one stem. The design is great, long post for tall flowers, and is vertually invisible in the garden. Would definately purchase more of these!

The gathering rings look really nice and are easy to use. They seem so sturdy that I think I will be able to use them year after year. They open up to put more stems in as the season goes on. I am using them for my dahlias now but plan to use them for other plants as well.

Comments about Gathering Rings:

I purchased the Gathering Rings for use in my flower garden. I use more in my vegetable garden as added support for tomato plants. I love the fact that the ring un-hooks, making it easy to surround the plant.
Is it possible to add this feature (latch/unlatch) to the tomato basket design or to the cage design supports?

I would recommend this product.
