Flowers from a Pleasant Friday

Today was what a mid-June day should be like here--low 80s. And it was overcast in the morning. But it is very dry. Even after a little rain, I was surprised when I dug how dry it is. And it is going to get worse, with a heat wave and little promise of rain next week. The season has taken shape, and needless to say, it is not at all like last year.


While there were still some deformed flowers, there were many nice ones too.

Sultry Girls (big and a bit darker than the pic)

Dancing on Daddy's Feet

Sherry Candy (in a pot)

Jackie Kropf (looking good this year and blooming on tall scapes)

Volcano Queen--one of the few about which I can say that it has never looked better, though the picture flatters it a bit.

Butter Cream (picture does not capture the large presence of this flower)

Web of Intrigue (a welcome cluster of flowers that has opened well)

Lydia's Regal Robe--I was pleasantly surprised at the size, the saturation of color, and the white edge on this one (growing in a pot)

Toucan Sam (rich colors growing in a pot)

Safe Island --sometimes richer, but an excellent plant that also reblooms here
