Orangutan is one that blooms early for me too. I moved mine several times because it just wasn't performing. It looks like this year it has found it's sweet spot since I see more scapes than usual. Hakuna Matata is one that I don't have but purchased oodles of seeds of it crossed with other things. I am aiming for that height and vigor it seems to have. Glad to see your season is up and running. I'm about 2 weeks behind but at least scapes are popping everywhere now.

It is indeed a start! Good for you. I know you are glad. I like the color of Hakuna Matata and I think I could remember that name!

Thanks Kate I realize that the image of Hakuna Matata is not a great shot. It bloomed with one bloom facing east and one bloom facing west . So I didn't get a face on image. Hopefully soon . I mostly posted so I could see how the text on photo app I downloaded looks on the images on the forum . You can change the font , color of the font , where you want it on the image etc.

edited to add: The text program also allows you to choose the kind of filter you would like for the image ........everything from vintage to black and white .

Nice blooms Jean, I have paper butterfly, I'll have to check to see if it is starting to scape now. Mine does not bloom down in the foilage, but doesn't get real tall that I recall. Nancy

Thanks so much. I loved the colors of Parrot Jungle and the fancy edges from the beginning, but Trimmer said it is more for breeding than blooming. Bill Marriot told me that it does not do well at his place, but he kept it because of how it does in other areas, Julia we have struggles to get up and past 60. Normally it would be mid eighties here, and today is predicted to be normal. We are supposed to be about 90 for the weekend and beyond, so the dayliles should return to normal blooming. Thank you all for looking at the pretties. kay

Jean, I think you're the only one I've ever heard say that instead of the blooms shattering in the heat, Iceberg looses it's leaves. I have a couple of friends I could ask that question of for you and like you said, it could be the BS. Thanks for answering me, so it is at least a heat thing on the blooms coming up singles. I go out early am to get the pics before it gets too hot. I'd like to see some pics of those if you can get out and get them. If you're talking the lavender mini on my last thread that's Lavender Jewel and here's a link to it for you. It doesn't like a lot of water or it balls, but it doesn't mind the full sun and heat which is where I have it. Sequoia advertises a rose 12-18". Mine will be a year old in Sept and it's about 3' wide now and stands about 18" tall. I call this one a self cleaning rose, it deadheads itself:) I don't think they'll ship any rose to hot areas before Sept though, they won't let me buy either and I live here where they are:) Leslie Here is a link that might be useful: Sequoia Nursery

It’s great your garden and mine are finally getting started. My pick is Hakuna Matara, great color. MM looks great with the daisies.

Kind of partial to Orangutan because of the shape. Just barely getting started here myself, though many scapes are setting. Feeling very impatient - hmmph...

I'm glad you're finally seeing bloom. We have been away for a few days and the garden is almost in full bloom. I thought our peak might be late, but I'm not so sure now. I think the heat has helped a lot.

Moonlit Masquerade looks especially pretty with the daisies, and Hankuna Matata is a lovely color!

To be frank , Orangutan does nothing for me . It just looks blah! Maybe if others start to bloom around it ,it will uplift it but right now . .....Meh !
