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

Kay and Avedon--Love on a Wire has been fabulous this year. It has increased well, looks good every day and has a high bud count. Parade of Peacocks is fairly new and is in the jungle section of my yard so I can't even get in there to count buds, but I really love the way it looks. It just started blooming a few days ago. mantis--Love on a Wire has been blooming since July 10. That may be closer to mid than early mid, but there is so much overlap it's hard to tell. It has lots of buds left. Val

I like that ROger Grounds! so dark and long, nocturnal hmmm. I have some that start early and really last too, it's a great feature regardless of branch/buds. ha and the Siloams! woot woot. :)

Chocolate Cherry Dreams - just a few scapes, but huge clump maybe I'll try to divide Wall of Fire - one of the giants this year, with 42" scapes (but not this particular one, it's not short either) Now 2 that I think will have to go Dream Legacy - not blooming right now, earlier pic It kinda looks nice here in the morning light, but just a few buds, not good opening (ha used to be my bud queen one year) Sweet Sugar Candy - not really late, tiny flowers this year, very poor bud count, very short, it does get a lot more shade now that the tree is big, but others near it seem to be ok Tahitian Waterfall Deliverer - last Quiet Reflections - LFO Man of Sorrows - LFO (interesting I have another division of it in a more sunny bed and that bloomed out more than a week ago, they are same size; shade prolongs blooming? :D) Couple lates with more than one flower ;) Flying Carpet Zena TFL!
