August Blooms
There's not much blooming now, but I did have an ffo this week. Sea Shell Lulluby, which I acquired a year ago in June, just had it's first flower ever today. I originally had two fans. The smaller fan scaped in late May, dropped its buds, and then disappeared. The larger fan just put up a scape in July and is blooming now with 9 buds.

Betty Warren Woods just kept on blooming on instant rebloom scapes, finally ending yesterday after nine weeks of continuous bloom. That makes it my longest bloomer this year, beating Cool Twister, which had 8.2 weeks of nonstop blooms.
August Cherry did make it into August this year. It has one more bud to go.
Annette's Magic is still blooming on its late scape.
Shelby is blooming on two late emerging scapes.
Final Touch still has quite a few buds and is bud building on a couple of scapes.
Autumn Jewels has two scapes still blooming.
Last Chance for Romance has just hit its stride.
Ruby Lipstick and Blazing Cannons still have a couple of buds left to go. Braided Edgings and Raspberries in Cream finally put up scapes for this season. It gives me hope that perhaps some of 45 others that did not bloom will decided to in the coming months. The Dominator, Wonder of It All, and Mister Bubbles have rebloom scapes on the way.

A Few August Blooms
Comments (8)Carol, that's funny. Maybe that's why I like PP's fragrance so much. You probably do have toads. You just need water to attract them. I made a little in-ground water feature in my garden/nursery just for fun which I think it's attracted to because of all the tasty snacks that are there for him/her. Do you have any kind of pond or ground-level water in your garden? I dug a trench and took some pond liner and put a layer of grey river rock that you see in the toad photo. There's a sprayer there to fill it with water each day and I wash it out every few days to get rid of mosquito larvae. I think the little guy's pretty happy. :-)...See MoreMy early August blooms
Comments (30)Thanks Krista! I wish WS2000 was as prolific as Munstead Wood but he has distinct flushes and I’m always glad to see his ruffled petals that sometimes form a charming heart shape. Thanks Stephanie! My lot is 9600 sq feet which is big compared to many of the new construction in my neighborhood. We moved in exactly 20 years ago and I’m grateful to have what I have. People near by have multi-acre properties with vineyards and lovely open space which could be hard to give up if you’re used to lots of land. I’ve wondered if I could manage such a large space and I’m probably better off with my lot but I keep seeing more roses I’d like to buy. :)) Ann...See MoreMid August Blooms
Comments (13)Maryl - When it's really hot and there hasn't been much rain, the lavender petals on the Blazing Saddles Kid can start to look tan even though the petals are thick. That's the reason I may end up not registering it. The red late is the one that keeps in color in the hottest temepratures. It's the perfect daylily to be blooming in July and August.

Comments (8)WLK looks good. I like Yada Yada Yada. Love4 the Clowns in Washington name. By the way, your box is on the way finally. Laura's rain bands delayed it and I am glad I got it off yesterday since we are in the midst of several days of rain now. kay...See More
