Thank you everyone! :) Jim, honestly I do not know if it is a rebloomer, but now you've got me thinking..usually I prune it hard after it flowers, maybe this year I'll let it go awhile longer and see if it does rebloom. I can't wait till my NBJ's bloom. Got any pix of yours in bloom? Anyone know if they will bloom 1st year from seed? Karyn, and Jim..have you guys tried the Knockout roses? They are the easiest rose to grow in my opinion. They bloom from spring till the first killing frost here. DH's uncle couldn't believe I still had roses blooming at the end of November last year, he was absolutely amazed...was the good ol KO's! I know the KO's are all the rage in Florida, they bloom year round there if I remember corectly. Yes Shawn, the KO roses are a carefree rose, you don't even have to prune, but I am constantly removing the spent flowers and trimming off the hips. I only leave the hips over the winter. And they are disease and black spot resistant as well. But my reds have some kinda lil white spots on the leaves this year..don't know what's up with that, otherwise they look healthy, blooms are nice. I WISH my whole yard was one big flower bed! DH and kids are ready to kill me as it is, lol. Yes, the Snow on The Mtn is a groundcover, supposed to be only 12" tall, but mine is over that, how about yours? It's so pretty isn't it? I need more.. I wonder if I can seperate that? I love variegated plants. I wish everything I had was variegated. Karyn, yes the passi seeds, mandevilla laxa, and the night blooming jasmine are all from seeds you sent me that I started in Jan. Oh, and the KMOTGG which I absolutely LOVE BTW, it hasn't even flowered yet, but I am SO in love with the foliage..so pretty, and o soooo soft!!! I could sleep on that plant, lol. Thank you! :) Theresa, lmao, I need to surround my whole dang yard with it! Thanks again everyone :)

Bonibrae Happy Face and My Friend Mary Jane are both too new to know how they will perform. Bonibrae Happy Face hung up the first two times it opened but the next two times it opened perfectly. My Friend Mary Jane just was planted this spring.

Hey, no sweat, that happens to all of us from time to time. :) I'd never be able to remember all of mine if I didn't take along a notebook and pen while making my photos. After I take a photo, I jot down the name so I have a list of what I took each day. I put the date at the top of the page for reference if I need to go back and check a certain day. Anyway, which ever one she is, she's a beauty, as are the rest of yours. Thanks for posting them. Jan

Now I need Cerulean Warbler to bloom like that in my blue and white bed. Beautiful clump shot, Kay! I still have hope that little stinker will put up some late scapes this year here. I really like your photo of Desperado Love. Mine has eyes that are more red than purple. I was ready to get rid of it, because I have so many others with those colors. But low and behold this year it has buds and branches out the wazoo. They really do shape up when they know they're on the hit list! I love all the others too, especially Ledgewood's Firecracker and Arctic Lace.

You know I love Forsyth Ace of Hearts, but that Ledgewoods Firecrakcer is pretty amazing and I don't know why I don't have Desperado Love. Every one of them is lovely though.

So sorry, but I am apparently losing it here. I typed out a answer to the first half dozen who had replied to my post, and I obviously just previewed it and didn't submit it, 'cause it isn't here.

You know I have had a really good time posting pictures this year...to let you know how much fun, I have uploaded over 1800 pictures to photobucket this month alone. If you want to verify, I'll send you the link.

Christine, CW would be in my top 10 even if I was limited to 10 only. If you are considering it, that is one I wholeheartedly recommend. Debra, I cannot imagine why your Celestial Warbler isn't blooming...next year could always be different, but mine bloomed really well last year and has had a clump just about every day since the blooms started this year. But all of Luddy's intros have done amazingly well here.

Rita,Cindy, bigack, Tyger River is a very large bloom and the plant is bloomiferous (if that is understandable) Selman's do well here. I love Blueridge plants.

Which brings us to Blue corn Moon. Linda and Cindy, I don't think it ever has less than a perfect bloom on it.

and Rita and other "hot" lovers, a new one I ordered from Paul Owens is a "hot" one too;Bohemian Rhapsody, and he sent an even hotter one, Lady Jane Pearcy, so you know I will have the hot colors next year, as always.

deangreen, Ellie, Val, Vickie, and Crackingtheconcrete. Just a bit of enabling here, I think Ace of Hearts is only $14 on Roycrofts site.

Val and crackingtheconcrete, Not only is Ledgewoods Firecracker a gorgeous and very bright color, it is a wonderful bloomer too. Many, Many blooms every year, and Bill Maryott sells it very reasonably.

Thank you Jean, and Debra, I know we have discussed Desperado Love before...I'm glad yours is doing more like mine in the bloom department now. Jean it is a lovely bloom.

I'm sorry I was so late answering you all, but thought I answered part of you earlier. I really do appreciate you taking the time to look at my photos and comment on them. It gives me a lot of pleasure to know you like them too.
