We continue to have some rebloom.

Broadway Spotlight has never rebloomed for us before.

On Your Knees You Will Find Him has never rebloomed before either.

Gay Activist is still blooming. This photo looks closer to its true color.

Maryl, On Your Knees You Will Find Him is a nice shade of pink. The picture I posted shows one that isn't as flat as it usually looks. Here is a picture that is more typical.

I just went out in the gator and found another one blooming. This is State of Happiness. It is a bit worse for wear as I took the picture at about 6 pm. This is its first year in the garden. I think it will be a nice one when it gets established.

Those are a nice set of three. I particularly like On His Knees You Will Find Him (boy, that's a long one to type). It looks rose pink on my monitor and very pretty......Maryl

That's a pretty nice poly on Broadway Spotlight! So nice to see rebloom in your garden.

Echinopsis!

Thanks for the nice comments Laura and GermanStar! I do love Echinopsis for sure. GS, I have to keep mine only in the back garden too, as I get all sorts of javelinas, hares, rabbits, and other herbivores that love eating them too, so I need to keep them in the protected confines of the back garden. Out front it's mostly natives, some agaves, and lots of bitter/soapy aloes and Euphorbias. I do love Echinopsis, and this is a great time of year for them. Happy gardening!

Your gardens are really showing off. Fernstone looks so good, my 2 fans each have a nice scape, at least a week away from blooming though. Dumortieri bloomed yesterday, but with the wind & rain didn't look decent to show. Love your iris! And your roses, I miss the few roses I grew. Gave up on them when the Japanese beetles devoured them. Abe Barrow is a lovely flower, but that last photo is just wonderful.

Dancing Flamingo is a stunner! I love, love that color. Nordic Soul is also a great looking flower. Some of those really dark ones get splotchy for me, that one looks really nice and clear. Billy the Kid looks really good! Mine only has 3 blooming size fans, but with 3 more smaller fans maybe I'll get more blooms later. At least I should get a nice showing next year. I like the color of Red Heartthrob too, and a wonderful patter on Bowtie Affair. Yes, I just like them all.

Nan, you are correct. I purchased Cheese and Wine at my local favorite nursery in 2015. "Longfields" was not on any of the information I had when I purchased it. Heemskerk is a hybridizer in the Netherlands. This season I purchased another Heemskerk daylily called Magic Dancer at the same nursery. It's just as lovely in a different way.Sherry
