Friday's new blooms

8 years ago

Web of Intrigue sunlit

And Web of Intrigue shaded

Crazy Ivan's very first real bloom. The first scape aborted, & its first bloom never really opened, but this one is better than I imagined. I didn't realize it would be such a big flower

Caribbean Eye Spy

Jolyene Nicole is an oldie, but it is blooming really well this year.And

And Billy the Kid again. Have to say, every bloom has been perfect, I really do like the look of it.

The pattern on Billy the Kid is much more apparent in this pic. Maryott's pic is more burgundy. Does yours vary? All the blooms here are perfect.

All of these look great! From Crazy Ivan's dark, dark eye to the lovely clump shot of Jolyene Nicole, these are excellent shots. Billy the Kid looks fabulous. I'm expecting a package from Maryott in the next week and hope I get that one as a bonus. I did list it as a possibility.

Bravo! I have just looked at your 3 posts from Friday and I love all of them. I am trying to catch up on everyone's posts but am so busy trying to get all my yard work done and still hurting from the dog bites, but when I take a break I come here to the forum. You have some very pretty blooms!! I won't even try to pick favorites out of all those I saw, there are just too many lovely ones. I know you are missing Ms. Blackie, though...and I still think of her too. My thoughts are with you, Jean. Celeste

Crackingtheconcrete; I have seen these new type putunias at wal mart and also Home Depot, too,maybe yo can find some there? Triplecreek;Kansas Kitten is fairly new to me, from last year.So far,it has not had a real lot of buds, but,I think it will improve.Its not a big plant.Course, with my soil,I give it awhile and if it dont increase size, fans and buds,I will dig it back up and pot it. Ellie.Yes, my photo is pretty accurate,The bloom might be just a tad darker then my picture, but farely accurate. I love this one/Love Purples. Kay, I like these petunia's too.I just had to have a pot of them when I seen them as I had never seen any like them,and now they have different colors in them too, But,I like this blue. Hi Rita,I see I really botched up the spelling on Frankly Scarlet but, you figured it out just fine. I love the red blooms too, Red and Purple are my favorite colors. Today, PURPLE MOUND bloomed and I love that purple bloom.It has just one bloom today, but a few more buds... Jean

RITA: Yes the zinnias are blooming a litle,Blooms are small yet.I just cut a little Bouquet wednesday and brought them in, but they still have maybe 6 or 7 small blooms left.They were slow to come up this spring.I watered everything a couple hours ago good,so that should help them along.Found another rebloom scape while I was watering.This one on CONDILLA.Wish you take some pictures of your zinnias, as you always have such pretty ones,and the asiatic lilies when they bloom,too. jean

*~*~*~* Aloha Friday *~*~*~* Embers Plumeria
Q
Comments (19)
The Embers Plumeria was a purchase from The Exotic Plumeria in Seffner, Florida 2 years ago. I paid an Arm and a Leg for it and worried my self to near death that when it bloomed it would be something else. We went through another horrible winter were it spent all it's time in the garage. I paid $89.00 for 1 tip rooted cutting. When I went to Exotic Plumeria it's a beautiful place ( All the plumeria are ). They let you walk around and enjoy yourself but always have you in the corner of their eyes, kind of like a car sales person. Then you find yourself debating "Which One Shall I Get???" Then when you've singled it down to 3 varieties, you wave at the sales lady with the walkie talkie and you say how much is this one? "She relies it's $79.00 for 1 tip potted and $10.00 additional per tip! After spending almost an hour there you feel somewhat obligated to buy, which I did and it ended up being a 2 tip rooted cutting of Embers. As the tree gets bigger the hurt goes away and you end up with lovely blooms. That's the one and only time I spent a the "Exotic Plumeria" Just be prepared to fork over some "Benjamin's" Stuart

Web of Intrigue really looks good.I think I lost my Caribbean Eye Spy, but, I thought Sea of Cortez died 2 years ago, but up it popped this year.It was in a pot and I just left it alone and watered it some times, then found its very much alive.LOve Jolyene Nicole mine boomed earlier this year and had 3 buds, one bloom. got to repot it.. I really like your Billy the Kid. its a pretty one.

Wow, Web of Intrigue doesn't even look like the same flower in shade. Crazy Ivan is one I plan to get some day.

Crazy Ivan is looking great! I love Web of Intrigue too... does it rebloom for you? Mine should do better this year, since I just last night ripped out a ginormous Rozanne geranium that would overtake everything in the vicinity, including WOI.

Nancy: Great selection and the comparison of WOI in sunlight versus shade. Billy The Kid is definitely a beautiful bloom. Caribbean Eye Spy is one I'll have to go and look at the stats.

Mantis, I haven't had a lot of blooms yet, I think the color has deepened a bit, but not changed the basic color. I really like the way the pattern is developing.
Debra, I'm getting more attached to Billy the Kid all the time, I'm sure you will like it.
Jean, I hope your Caribbean Eye spy shows up, really a good daylily.
Thanks Sara. I agree, Web of Intrigue is a bit shorter than I was expecting, I will need to move mine too. I just happened to plop it between 2 really tall daylilies. I should investigate more before I plant, but doesn't really do me much good. Plants don't always do what they are supposed to in my garden, short ones grow taller & tall ones grow shorter.
Thanks Maryl! And ruthz, I was surprised to see how different Web of Intrigue looked, both pretty but very different.
Laura, I love Crazy Ivan, I knew I had always liked the photos of it, but it is so much better in person. Thank you so much!
Julia, Caribbean Eye Spy has been such a great daylily. Not necessarily heavily budded, but it usually reblooms a couple of times, & 3 years in a row it was reblooming in October. Hasn't done that the last couple of years, but it is such a pleasure to have a daylily blooming in October that I remember it.
