Edward,
You have a lot of lovely blooms. I think I like Constantinople best, but you have a lot of very pretty one.

My ivy leafed small light blue morning glories bloomed first and got to about four foot tall. The Early morning, or tall mix got tallest at about ten foot and bloomed much later. Because they needed to be sown after frost I didn't see a lot of difference between my direct sown and winter sown. I didn't use the best soil though and my drainage was bad. This year I'm doing more and will be direct sowing for ease of planting out.

Pat yes it actually is. If it is the Malabar one we are talking about. Pat I have cuttings where the above the sphagnum moss is all dried up...and there.....from beneath it, came new growth!!! I am telling you all....I will never throw a cutting away until I can most certainly say...NOTHING is coming up anymore. here is a picture of the spinach... From Pictures for GW friends the leaves are more on the bottom....they got BIG here. But since I first of all, had no interest in harvesting it for consumption, I planted a Passionflora Fine along with it for the Cats :-) Lucy

Thanks everyone. I try to keep it looking fresh by taking out the wilting flowers and adding new fresh ones as they bloom in the garden. Here is a more recent pic 5 days later: I've added a big fat Dames De Chennonceau bloom front and center. Also a nice yellow one from an unnamed rose that I got at Home Depot some time ago. I wish I knew the name because its been a great rose for me. Its small thus far and grown on her own roots which intrigues me even more. Her blooms are full and bright yellow and she has quick repeat.

Vickie, the colour on the pick ones have been exceptionally good the last couple days. I think it is due to the cool mornings. Previous blooms were less good.

kay, the colour on Constantinople is darker and richer. It looks much better in person. I have been happy with just about every bloom.

Hi Rita, Elusive Happiness was a very pleasant surprise. I would have never thought to buy it but I am glad I got it as a bonus plant. This year it showed good branching and a 26 budcount.

Your NO MORE TEARS blooms with a very distinctive white pencil line around the edges. Beautiful bloom pic.

I like CONSTANTINOPLE since it has the white pencil line around the edges against the deep bloom color.

And of course, post more HAI, keeps me thinking about getting it. ;-).
