Fighting Fire is such a wonderful red. Several of my reds with edges have been opening splotchy, but Fighting Fire has no such problems. I definitely rank it higher than Red Edition or Barbara Mandrell here. The Little Light clump always looks great for you. I hope mine gets to bloom, and the deer don't get to it. I love your group shots and garden shots!

Kay, your work is really showing off. It looks really good. I need to move Little Light of mine. It is in too much shade and never blooms well. Yours looks lovely. And good to know the sun number on Rambunctious Rosy. It still looks good even after that. And of course, your Fighting Fire is still smoking!!!

Kate

Wow, Kay, your gardens look marvelous! Neon Flamingo is gorgeous, I would like to see one of those in person.

Sherry

Thank you all. Debra, I have another clump of Little Light Of Mine that will move out after this season if the deer get yours. After that very first bloom, Fighting Fire has been perfect. It put up three re-bloom spikes too, so I ma very happy with it. Thanks, Kate. I have wanted Mean Green forever, and it seems to stay sold out, so I bought Rosy when I had the chance and I am happy with her. Thanks you sherry. The bloom is massive and the color is really something to see on Neon Flamingo.

Kay, your garden and group shots are gorgeous! I always enjoyed seeing those photos. I just added Rambunctious Rosy this spring, it looks great in your garden. I also really like Flaming Flamingo, Neon Flamingo, and Fighting Fire.

Rambunctious ROSIE looks great. I looked up the registration because I was interested in perhaps getting it and it is Rosie.

Nice perspective in the pics. I like Purple Tarantula in the pic, but not the leaning scape. Rambunctious Rosie looks good in the pic, but I had troubles here. It didn't like the two cold winters we had. I notice that the bud count in your pic is meager. Well, you know, I always discuss the warts as well as the rosy cheeks. Your pic of Flaming Flamingo makes me glad I picked it up.

Really enjoy the garden shots. Several favorites here, Purple Tarantula and Neon Flamingo for sure. Nice clump pic of Little Light Of Mine. I had to give up on Rambunctious Rosie, just wouldn't do much here. I would like your take on Flaming Flamingo, how does it do for you, since I think we may have similar climates.

Bubble Yummin Mama grabs my attention. Sure like the color. Flaming Flamingo is a WoW orange that I like too. Is Purple Tarantula the striped UF in the threesome picture?..........Maryl

Great photos. Garden shots show your season really progressing quickly.

I have 2 clumps of Rambunctious Rosie and for some reason they just haven't done well here. Increases great but the blooms come up short. I'll see how they do this year and then decide what to do with them. I love Judy's intros but this one has me perplexed.

Kay: I have Mean Green and it has increased enough after the last dividing to send you a couple of fans if you want it. Let me know via Houzz message.

I LIKE Purple Tarantula! Rambunctious Rosy looks really good after so much sun, would be a nice one to have. Bubble Yummin Mama is such a beautiful color. Little Light of Mine hasn't formed a clump yet, can't wait til it looks like yours. It has multiplied, the babies just aren't big enough to form scapes yet. Love those clump shots and especially the garden photos! I do miss those birdhouses. I keep saying I need to put some out in my garden, yours add so much.

Beautiful garden and beautiful photos! Flaming Flamingo and and Purple Tarantula catch my eye. I don't grow many ufs but I like the ones that cascade. Flaming Flamingo has such a vibrant color. We planted it a couple of years ago and I think it will show us some nice blooms this year.
