Just look at you showing out!! EITV looks fabulous!! But so does Pink Tarantula with that clump shot. Heart of Glass continues to impress! Lots of pretty ones here!

Thanks, Kate. EITV usually has just three or four but it outdid itsel and it usually does about once a season. I really liked the view with all the pinks. purples and white. Those two Star Sapphires are Ridder plants. HOG actually had three blooms the last two days, but two together is a prettier photo.

Black MIngo has two scapes sitting up there. almost all of the ones they sens started blooming in the pot or bloomed in the ground and this ones4nt them up in the soaking water. . When I saw it, I put it in a pot and am not sure if it would hurt it sending it now or not. It is supposed to be a little cooler in a few days and may be better sent then, what do you think?

The Entwined in the Vine clump deserves a trophy! Pink Tarantula is impressive, and so is Exotic Starfish. Someone should cross EITV with Exotic Starfish. I bet those babies would be magnificent. I love the look and the name Silly Wabbit! Lovely post. The pinks and purples are my favorites.

Debra

Thank you, Debra. I suspect a lot of folks think I grow all reds, but I also like pinks and purples and, as usual, had a hard time choosing photos to post. I am on the waiting list for another plant with a silly name because if I like the plant and the name amuses me, sooner or later I will bite. I think that was part of why I liked Log Legged Lap Dance, although, it is big, tall and red. Anyway, thank you for looking and commenting.

Oooooo, Kay, not just one show offs, a garden full of show offs today! So many pretties but Heart of Glass captured my heart today, such a lovely bitone. Entwined in the Vine is always at the top of the list, today it’s spectacular.

Sherry

Thank you, Sherry. This is the time of the second peak when the later one bloom. They are some of my favorites and I am glad you enjoyed them. Hear of Glass is in its first actual in the ground year though it bloomed in the pot while it was growing roots last year. It is as pretty in person. Entwined in The Vine is one of the prettiest plants I have seen; even the individual blossoms are so large ans so beautiful and when it shows off! Wow!

Pink Tarantula sure stands out. The full formed Mountain Bluebirds is a pretty one and of course my favorite shape. You have had some really nice action this year.......Maryl

Thank you, Maryl. It has been a good year even though some favorites have under-performed. One tree is going down and another is having limbs removed from my garden side so that may improve things.

Another bunch of beauties today, and I can't help it, I love every one. That is a wonderful clump of Entwined in the Vine! How long did it take to get to that size? I have scapes on mine, but will be a week or so before I see blooms. Mean Green is sulking with me this year because I moved it, yours looks wonderful. Love Pink Tarantula and heart of Glass. Well, as I said, they all look wonderful.

Thank you Nancy; I think I just lucked up and planted EWITV in a spot it likes. 2018 was its first year, ad it has done very well form the start. Mean Green had wonderful blooms today as did Pink Tarantula. You can show only so many, but that lst photo in the comments shows that Heavenly Angel Ice and Pink Tarantula had really good days and Handwriting on the Wll had triplets. they were just pretty together.

kay, but

Beautiful group Kay. Mean Green shows lighter in color for you than it does for me here and I think that may be temp related possibly. Pink Tarantula stands out.

Julia

Thank you, Julia. Actually, Mean Green and most anything with orange does not showup well with the phone and houzz may allow one camera photo in the comments but that is it. I love it and it has done so well here, thank you. And Hot Tamales and REd Hots has bloomed really well this year too. Thank.k you again. I was able to buy quite a few more from Angela Ridders plants since I like Pink Tarantula so much and I have been quite happy with them. Not all of them are unusual forms, but most of them are.
