Dreams Of Destiny

Divine Sparkle FFO - very large bloom on this one

Mary Lightfine - first bloom this year

Rose Hampton - this one is showing more pink than previous years since I moved it to another bed

Squash Dolly - more lemon yellow than squash yellow. Not sure where he got the name.

Satan's Fire - my brightest red blooming today. Not crazy about the name but I do like the flower.

Gaudy Gaudy - my brightest yellow blooming today. This one has been having a hard time opening this year.

Taos - one of my favorite creams

Tahoe - not sure if it will show up in the picture, but I was seeing a little green on the edge of this one.

Misty Alps - received as a bonus last year and I like it. Very large blooms, larger than the listed 6 1/2 inch. Reminds me of a Munson.

I bet Incendiary was dark today! I loved the cooler morning temps and getting to see the rich dark purples that Celeste sees every day hers bloom!! And I like the shadow picture of Black Fathom Depths--has an "artsy" look about it! The faux Sabine Bauer has an interesting look and story as well. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Glad EITV is blooming for and that it is pretty. I like Coach's Magic Man-that color is wonderful. Lots of goodies on here to go back and look at again.

Julia, you blooms are beautiful and so many lovey clumps. It was so nice to see Mean Green and clown Parade blooming together since here, Clown Parade has been finished for a bit before Mean Green even starts to bloom. I ahave always liked your Ribbit Ribbit and it looks great as always. Pattern Evolution is such an intense and beautiful color. Pretty Desirable is another pretty color too. I like the look of Thundercat. Not a clinker in any of the photos. This was a fun post and such a pretty one, Ju;lia. I haope everything is smoothing out now since you have had a not fun time for a while. kay

Vertical Horizon and Isabelle Rose are my favorites. Vertical Horizon has been on my wish list for several years. Let me know how it goes with hybridizing with that one. I have both Neon Flamingo and White Eyes Pink Dragon. I like the bloom on Neon Flamingo better, but White Eyes is definitely the better plant here. Debra

Oh, Sherry, I know I am far behind in checking posts and commenting but please tell me it is not Friday already!!! :) Even here in the south we have had some low temps in the mornings that causes blooms not to open well. Blue Beetle looks good. Has it ever doubled for you? Undercurrent is always such a pretty color for you. A great photo of Free Wheelin-maybe it wants to make up in looks what it doesn’t in multiplying. Great color on Soco Gap.

Thanks Rita & Debra! Satan's Fire does glow. I love the color. Taos is one of my favorites. Both of those just started blooming this week, so I'm hoping they will bloom for a while. Things are starting to wind down a little.
