Catching up with some recent blooms

5 years ago

Hoping my post goes through! I did not try yesterday, so maybe things will work better today. Here’s a few recent blooms from the past week.

LULLABY BABY - great performer. Scapes seem taller than the registered height of 19” inches, although I have not measured.

POEM OF ECSTASY - pretty bloom but only one scape with three buds

THUNDERCAT - early morning photo

I will stop here and if the post goes through I will add more in the comments. Thanks!

Yay it worked! Here are more blooms:

RAINBOW MAKER - received as a bonus plant last fall. Scapes are much shorter than the registered height of 38” but the bloom is unlike anything I have in the garden.

ROSE F KENNEDY - noticeable increase in bud count this year.

HEARTBREAKER ALEX - only one scape with two buds

HALLOWEEN TRICK - FFO

VOILA FRANCOIS - pretty bloom

GAGE’S FACEPAINT - only one scape with two buds

SMOKY MOUNTAIN AUTUMN - beautiful bloom, looks good morning and evening.

Combo shot of Earlybird Cardinal and Lullaby Baby

Thanks for looking!

I like Poem of Ecstasy. Have not seen that one before. Can you tell me a little about it? Evergreen, etc. Ok, I found it. It's a Maryott and semi-evergreen. Very nice

Wow Debra, you had a lot of favorites. Some of these are first timers so I have to wait and see but I really like the Heav Curls seedling.SGTR15L is really a nice clear red. Brittie, it's a slap dash cross for me. Some folks plan them but I don't. I used Inherited Wealth and Spacecoast Starburst a lot because it's my first crosses that went well for me. Not so much now though because I have such a variety to chose from.. You are right Christine. This is a first year for that one and I don't know what next year will bring but it's exciting... Thanks for your replies ladies...Ellie

Thank you for sharing those beauties with us. I received Joan Derified as a bonus this year and your photo of it makes me realize I was lucky! I love Mary Alice Stokes and Key To My Heart...they have been on my wish list for awhile and your pics are gorgeous. Fairest of Them certainly lives up to its name! And I like the spiders Thin Man and Long Tall Sally. I like how huge the blooms are. I enjoyed your post! Celeste

Lots of beauties Lori. Doesn't it just make you sad when such beautiful flowers have almost no buds? I too have Smoky Mt. Autumn. It is one of my favorites.

Hooray! Your post made it through today! Rainbow Maker has a neat blue eye. I had that one, never saw it bloom, then lost it over the winter. I like the shot with Earlybird Cardinal and Lullabye Baby. Poem of Ecstasy and Heartbreaker Alex are gorgeous blooms. It's a shame they have so few buds for you this season. My favorite is Voila Francois.

Poem of Ecstasy is lovely. It is too bad it is so poorly budded. We just planted Voila Francois. I have heard good things about it. Rose F. Kennedy is such a lovely bloom. We have the tetraploid version and both of them have scapes this year. I can't wait to see it.

So pretty, Lori. I really like Rose F Kennedy and predict it will continue to increase very well...Mine has and it is a fine plant. Gage's Facepaint is a unique one...very pretty.

Good to see people having some success with posting. Rose f. Kennedy is stunning, and I still love Voila Francois. Gate's Face paint looks good too, hope the bud count improves on that one for you.

Smokey Mountain Autumn is a classic with ever shifting colors. I love it when it gets the smokey overlay to it .....Pathetic bud count on Gage's Facepaint, but a real beautiful bloom. What if the flower had turned out ugly, that would have been a real bummer. Maybe you will get rebloom........I see blue on Rainbow Maker. Looks promising...........Maryl
