Well, you have quite a collection, and that Wizard is a real beauty.

Oh I forgot all about Christina!

Here is Christina in warmer temps... she's quite a beauty isn't she? Mild sweet fragrance... very happy with her as well.

Here is my Vienna Rose. She doesn't bloom much just one or two at a time but she's also very beautiful to me.

Cyndi M is very nice as well. I love here sweet sweet fragrance!

NC - WOW!!! They are looking good. I was not aware they changed that much with the temps. I can't wait to see what you get at the September sale.

Bill

jperilloux - I'm pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Wizard turned out to be too! I now remember seeing another Wizard at HD but the flowers were tiny and not remotely pretty so when I saw Wizard again at JJ's Open House I had to get her! But still I had no idea she would totally change her color like that. I actually like her in all temps... very impressive! She smells sweet w/ a little kick. My baby girl said it's spicy to her.

Bill, I have a few on my wish list... but I still have to recover from the move first! I am still undecided if I will go. So we shall see. :)

Lynn - you know how I love your Rhonda but now I'm confused. Is she at her best in cooler or warmer weather? I swear I will have a sleepless night as I ponder that one over! :)

Wizard is a beauty and that JJ Noid just gets better and better! Whirlwind... gosh, I think I'm going to have a restless winter! I"m planning on a trip to Fla to plumie shop. :)

LOL Mona, now you know how I feel!

I love Rhonda in all weather. Although she's shows more separation of colors and her petals curl more in the hotter temps. And her scent is still as intense! I leave my window open at night and the sweet fragrance fills the balmy air just makes me feel so happy.

Yes I still love JJ's NOID. I went for her scent and got lucky. Whirlwind is very pretty and different too. But Wizard is magical. Absolutely stunning in person. I love them all!

Here are a few that I just shot this evening...

J105 FINALLY showing off her beauty! WOWZA!! LOVE!!!

Here is my Star of Siam seed pods. Those are seed pods right??

You got that right Lynn. Your seed pod is looking good. Your plants look none the worst for the move. I don't envy you having to move them again. You might need to think about a hand truck ! They are gorgeous. Peg

Thanks Peg! They survived the move because I literally babied them and only let DH helped me. Will have to rethink this when we move again.

I am happy to see they survived the move w/out much harm. :)

Great looking blooms!!!

NC,

Gorgeous blooms, all! Love your collection and am a bit jealous that a newbie has so many blooms :-) LOL good for you. Vienna Rose is my new "fave that I don't have...yet".

Thanks for sharing.

Greg

awesome looking blooms, very vibrant and bold

Nah Greg don't be. You got Waimea that I'm drooling over! So it's all good. Hopefully one of the 3 Waimea plants I got will bloom for me.

Vienna Rose is so dainty and delicate. She's such a cool beauty. Very very unique. Also her blooms will last for weeks I swear!

Devine has become my favorite! I have about 20 of them and you're right - they just keep blooming and the smell is wonderful!

Beautiful! I am so jealous. How old are the bloomers? My 3 are 1 and 1/2 years old and are growing great but no blooms yet. Do you live in a rain forest or do you water frequently? :-)

Hi Hawk,

LOL I just like to mist my plants first thing int he morning and later in the evening. They seem to like it.

I'm guessing my blooming plants are around 3-5 years old. A few are about 1yr old. I just started this April. I have quite a few that I bought from Hawaii that are newly rooted this year so those are not blooming. I am hoping to get lucky next year.

I think you'll have to devise a 'dumbwaiter' type system to get all the plants down instead of the stairs. A vision of New York piano movers come to mind. LOL! Seriously though, I think it could work!!!

Well I went and bought six more plants yesterday so I think my self imposed ban lasted a week if that. At this point I will just have to trail the movers every step of the way to make sure they carry them gently back down. Perhaps a Uhaul to move my plants separate is in order.

Beautiful! Teaches me that I should stop stressing about mine for a minute, and enjoy the blooms.

Lynn,

They are ALL BEAUTIFUL!!!

Makes me wish that i had more blooms..

Please enjoy them for us and go back and take an extra sniff for me...

Love them!!

Laura
