Such nice shading on Hollywood Lights, I like the nice pink & edge of Teardrops in Heaven too. On the other end of the spectrum, I like Party Pinnafore too, they are all just lovely. I have a fan of Velvet eyes, it will be next year before that one blooms for me I guess. I really like that one, the deep red with dark shading.

Party Pinafore is a looker! I must get this one. You have some really great ones - love Velvet Eyes, Mask and Metaphor and your seedling is especially gorgeous. Congratulations.

Congratulations! Baby Ayla is beautiful and I love the name. (I am excited because grandbaby #2 is due in December and Connor will be a big brother). My son and older daughter are also 18 months apart but thankfully she wasn't twins....you & your wife have your hands full! Your daylilies are beauties too with Mary Alice Stokes being my favorite. Great job on both the daylilies and the precious little one. Celeste

Sarah, Those are just beautiful shots of both bird$ and blooms. Thank you for sharing them. I am inspired to try (again) some photos of my own. I seem to get so enthralled in watching the antics of these little beasties that I forget to take the photo! Yesterday my little resident QueenBird flew right into my face to let me know that the main feeder needed refilling. Sure wish I'd had my camera then. She just hung right in front of me at a distance of about 12-14 inches for several seconds. She made sure she had my attention! All I could do was laugh. spiderwoman

Flaurabunda, it's so funny you mentioned cameras. I was reloading some ancient photos into Facebook last night and it's quite startling to see how much my photo-taking has changed. Back in 2009 (the year of Gemini), I did not know how to handle my camera with the right sun exposures but even so Gemini was always beautiful; to this day save for Folklore and with Penny Lane (growing in sunlight) I've never seen a more perfectly formed rose. Kansas heat ruins rose shapes save for those 2 roses. Gemini always looked good no matter what the lighting; constantly spiraling, and your photo just reminded me so much of what she once was before she died. I loved that rose so much and she was a sport-fragranced one too. Double the Agony of losing her.... I'm afraid to get any other Gemini save from J&P because so few Gemini's have the deep coral, and I still hope to find one just like it.... I also check my local nursery but no dark coral Gemini yet...I bet you are probably being "too modest" or not breaking the hard truth for fear it'd make me "insane with grief" lol. Anyway, your photo of her was very "Haunting" and beautiful-- I felt like it was seeing her all over again.... I also forgot to say, I love your "Wall of Fire". Just brilliant! :D

David - I would love to trade with you. Will probably need to wait till the spring now, as Sweet Tart, purchased last fall from the (now admittedly lamentable) Gilbert & Wild, didn't start growing until fairly late. It's looking good now, but is still small. In the spring, hopefully, it will increase. It's a beautiful bloom, and purchased, believe it or not, because of your various plugs on here for the Bennett dls. Alex

Hi,

you have some lovley ones there. I am afraid I am having problems posting pics--the img code line appears printed in the thread rather than the picture itself, I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I love your Party Pinafore especially-really, really pretty.

Thanks all!

ngraham - the good news is, VE multiplies like crazy. When she gets it right, the flowers are amazing.

farmerbell - I didn't like that seedling when it first opened, but the blooms are getting better, and the bud count and branching are out of this world. In addition, it had instant rebloom this year. PP is my little beauty. Love her.

Jessica - can you believe that some of them are just starting their first blooms? I got a bunch that are late and very late, so I could extend my season. Looks like it is working! Stargate Explosion just put up its first scape! Yippee!

Nikki - I posted about the photo problem on your Star Child post.... hope it works out! I like PP too!

okbt - she is a hardy little bugger... even though I slid down the hill and wiped out all 3 fans last fall, she came back beautifully and gave me quite a show. Love PP.

Debra - thanks!! :o) MM is new to my garden (this spring), and is doing so well! Got another bloom this morning. Hoping the colors get just a mite brighter with settling.

Gotta do my yoga, then I will try to post those Star Child photos...

Thanks for all the kind words.

I love Party Pinafore, you can just keep right on posting more pictures of it.

I have VELVET EYES too, don't you just love it? Nothing I have loks like it. Smaller flower, big impact.
I love the shot of your seedling with the three blooms looking just like perfection.
