There are a couple that im going to have to wait for, and of course they are the really cool ones, (my lambertsons, my gilded peacock, and Riders of the storm!) Im sure they will be worth the wait though, untill next yr. ive got plenty to be excited over!

El Desperado

A pair of Cotillion Maiden twins

A pair of Night wings

Another pic of Sue Rothbauer, sorry, but I just love this one the blooms in this pic are bigger than my hand, and a perfect clear pink and they just sparkel in the sun.

Genez, great pictures - thanks! Looks like you had a fun trip. It's amazing what a spectacular job the Belagio does in their atrium. Almost as good as the water show ;-) Alana

The tags on the pink petunia just said sun perriennial no real name or anything like that. It was bought at home depot. But I will be saving and trading seeds this fall. No the dahlias were planted using the tubers it is just good soil there. It was a place of burning the old stuff a few years ago plus a little of composting not to mention the stuff we added this last year so it is just great soil there. Bonnie that silene looks so close to the red spider zinnia. Now I may have to go on the hunt for some silene seeds. Paula

Well, at first I thought this was going to have an alcohol theme (Wineberry Candy, Wine Delight, Transylvania Cocktail), but it wasn't:) It sounded good, though! Love Jordan Verhaert and Cherry Valentine. Kentic Blush is also very pretty. Vickie

Thanks palmcirtusbananavaz7! Dennis, I think the largest majesty I saw was in the part 1 of the pics. Im trying to remember if I saw a larger majesty palm because I think I did, but their definitely weren't too many large majesty palms. But the majesty palms I did see looked very healthy! Thanks for looking! -Alex

Really nice photos, you have some real beauties. I have been enjoying all that you posted. I love those Cotillion twins, so pretty. Is that Blue Reflection pretty close to true color?
I am getting anxious for my first bloom on Sue Rothbauer,
I am a little nervous about ones I got from G. Wild, as I have heard they sometimes aren't what they are supposed to be . And I really love that one.
Thanks for sharing!

The pic of Blue reflection was taken in the shade. Its a bit lighter lavender than the pic. Its kind of similar in color to prairie blue eyes, but the flower is bigger. Its an older one, but I like it. Ive never ordered from G.H.Wild, but a lot of people who post here have! Im positive you will like SR. she's not really frilly and fancy, but just plain elegant, and one of my favorites. -Jessica

Jessica, SR is my personal favorite. I love pinks anyway so am always attracted to the pink ones. I do like other colors, but pinks are still #1...Ellie
