Jewels of the late garden

There's only a dash of color here and there now. But the ones that are blooming look like precious jewels.

Purple Peace started reblooming today.

This Longing with a pair of lacy twins on rebloom

Tiffany Shade in a clump

The last Last Snowflake

Blazing Cannons on rebloom. The rebloom scape outdid the original scape in buds. It has 23 buds.

Tahlequah Flame burning bright in the morning sun.

Kaleidoscopic Intrigue on rebloom

Pink Extraordinare with its best bloom of the season - this is a rebloom scape, and there's another rebloom scape on the way.

Maney Augustine reblooming

Heartbeat of Heaven blooming late. It bloomed late last year too.

Pink Extraordinaire is extraordinary! What a pretty bloom and it saved it's best for last. I didn't know there could be another set of rebloom scapes following the first rebloom scapes. But where I'm at, one act of rebloom is somewhat of a miracle!

Thanks for the info. it is definitely on my list! I have AUTUMN JEWELS from you, Debra. It looks JUST like your picture - excellent bright color. Unfortunately, I didn't have the smarts to plant it with compatible colors. Visualize WEBSTER'S PINK WONDER behind, ON YOUR KNEES YOU WILL FIND HIM (muddy "rose red") behind and to the right, and OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING (peach pink) next to it. Not a felicitous combo, that's for sure. I persist in plopping things in wherever I find a spot, with the best of intentions to move them to better places next time. Next time never seems to arrive.

Coby, I am so sorry to hear about your loss and it's very nice to see more people who grow to love this forum. Isn't it the best?! As others have said, I hope your gardening can bring you some peace. I know when I lost my dad 9 years ago, there were those moments I just needed to head out to the garden and then I could make it through. I always tell people gardening is my zen. Wintersowing......thanks for the reminder. I need to start saving milk jugs because I don't have anywhere to indoor sow sadly. I always had a couple or three hundred seedlings in my laundry room at the other house. For timing sakes, I really need to wintersow this year. I have donated to the wintersown site before and when I did try wintersowing about 4 years ago, I learned a lot from their site. The only problem I ran into was I was not patient enough and would open the jugs and look every. single. day. lol My main thing is that I am going to have to choose which of the seeds I want to wintersow. I have 6 notebook pages full of the different types of seeds I have. Oh how will I ever choose?! Happy gardening everyone, Melissa

This Longing is pretty. Do you have many Ansaris? How is Blazing Cannons in regard to vigor and opening?

Beautiful group! Nice to see another picture of This Longing. Perfect shot of Last Snowflake. Purple Peace also catches my eye. Pink Extraordinaire wins the race for my favorite of the day.

Nice group. Kaleidoscopic Intrigue has the same look as Spring Mystique also introduced by Carpenter in 2009. Does Heartbeat Of Heaven always bloom so light for you?

Mantis - This Longing is the only Ansari I have. Blazing Cannons was splotchy on its original scapes this year. It doesn't have trouble opening here. It is not an emo. I bought it two falls ago as a single fan and now its three. This cultivar does have a lot of prolifs, but I wasn't able to get them to winter over.

Julia - Heartbeat of Heaven was not this light last year. I think the raised bed where it was planted in mid-June had gotten pretty dry. We're back to very humid, hot days up in the 90s. The blooms today look darker.

Beautiful as always, Debra. I really like Blazing Cannons, of course, my favorite colors for blooms, and Pink Extraodinaire is a beautiful bloom. All so pretty. Isn't it funny how some are better on rebloom than regular season?

Kaleidoscope and Pink Extraordinaire are my favorites today. Such nice rebloom for you, it is really rare here.

Sherry - I am getting quite a bit of rebloom this year, and I'm enjoying it. Having a later start to your season and an early fall limits your rebloom. Have you tried any of the Emmerichs with instant rebloom?

tiffany shade looks great!! as much as nice tall showy dls are in vogue, there really is something to smaller dls especially a fine round clump in bloom! :)
