Sunday Early Morning Blooms

Got out early to get these pictures. I don't think I will be out there for very long or often today.

ROGER GROUNDS: Great all around plant. Not a lot of branching or buds, but it makes up for it by always having a scape per fan.

BOLD MARAUDER

PURE AND SIMPLE: In a part of the garden that is somewhat neglected, but it keeps going.

BLACK FATHOM DEPTHS: Vigorous, and pumps out a lot of blooms. The only draw back is that it is covered with blooms for several days and then it is done.

COCKY AND BOLD: This is a Bennett intro. This bloom is 7 inches. It usually settles to 6.5 inches. I just love the color.

That is all for today.

Thanks for looking.

I forgot about this one.

WESLEY'S MASTERPIECE - Duane Therrien has two very nice intros out of this plant.

Maryl - I own 39 of Mr. Bennett's cultivars. There are about 5 more that I am looking for. I have a lead on two of them. The other three may be a little difficult. The one that I am really looking for is JUST A PARTY GIRL. I have not had any luck with the folks at NCDC, RADS, and FSDS. I am looking for it along with Peggy Jeffcoat. She had it as a seedling and got rid of it by mistake.

Cocky and Bold is beautiful! But I keep coming back to that first one - Roger Grounds. Really like it. Hot where you are, too, huh? It was incredibly intense whenever I tried to even walk outside yesterday. Hope this doesn't last the summer.

Cocky and Bold is a gorgeous pink like so many beautiful Bennetts. BFD is always a favorite of mine...It does have a shorter perieod of blooms, but pumps out so many while blooming that it is a permanent resident in my yard. Roger Gounds is a striking bloom. I like it.

My ivy leafed small light blue morning glories bloomed first and got to about four foot tall. The Early morning, or tall mix got tallest at about ten foot and bloomed much later. Because they needed to be sown after frost I didn't see a lot of difference between my direct sown and winter sown. I didn't use the best soil though and my drainage was bad. This year I'm doing more and will be direct sowing for ease of planting out.

Yes The first plant is a Epiphyllum hookeri to some and a E strictum to others. One of those many names for the same plant issue. The second one , I think since it is a pass along nameless plant, is Cereus peruvianus. I am thinking of cutting it back and rerooting one of them to make branches and a this plant in the pot. It is a 15 gallon pot maybe. And sense I am one of those obsessed individuals when one puts a camera in my hands. One is good, more is better. Number one reason is that it elevates the god awful chore of deciding.

I always enjoy your take on the Bennetts. Do you have any idea how many are out there that you would still like to own? You have so many of his lovelies, including this pale pink one, Cocky and Bold...........Maryl

Mantis: The person I received it from, sings its praises. He is in MD and Zone 7. I have seen it in his yard and once in my yard. I loved it at both sites. The problem with it here is that I had it in a bad location with little sun. My neighbors trimmed their row of evergreen bushes and now there is more sun. In the mean time I relocated it and I hope to see it bloom this year. From memory, it is rather tall and the pink/red eye is outstanding and will grab your attention. It is one that I am looking forward to this year.

I too like Cocky and Bold the best. Kind of an odd name for such a light color.
