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.

Beautiful garden views, I especially like the last picture. Mardi Gras Parade is a pretty one, I have a row of those, they multiply so quickly. Love the green in Spider Miracle.

Nice group of pics. Coral Majority I find is difficult for me to capture the true color of it. Filled to Overflowing has struggled here for many years. Far From The Madding Crowd looks like one of Curt's other intros "Capacity For Wonder". Neon Flamingo is interesting and I've kept it on a wish list but waiting to see how it looks in different gardens during different climate cycles.

Thank you! This was the second bloom for Voila Francois. The first bloom occurred on a cool rainy day and did not open very well. I have had three or four blooms since then and those have opened well. The blooms seem to open early, as the photo in my post was taken around 6:20 AM. Lori
