Friday 7/10 blooms
We got some much needed rain, and it's cooler today! Flowers look darker too. They were getting too light in the heat. I took a ton of pics yesterday but ran out of time to post. So I did take a lot of pictures today again so I better post ))
Some today's FFOs
Chocolate Cherry Dreams
Tahitian Dancer
Triumphal Procession - didn't quite open fully after a cooler night, still I think it's so pretty
Neal Berrey with a nice bouquet
Sdlg 1 - I know not everybody's cup of tea, but a seedling that DH likes because "it's different from all your others", I like it too, it's not very photogenic though, wondering what I can cross it with (also I saw a registered one several days ago, which looked quite a bit like this one but totally forgot the name or where I saw the pictures, ugh) it's out of Red Friday
Sdlg 2 - this is my 1st seedling of the year, I posted its FFE, which I didn't like, now I like, nice triangular eye and double edge (why do they make it so difficult for me to cull?? I am seriously completely totally out of room, and so far have only found 3 to go, which won't make any difference, sigh)
Sdlg 3 - I was looking forward to this one again this year, I think it's my prettiest one, but so hard to capture its true color, too dark in the morning, too pink in the sun, I used my old camera and Sunset setting for this, more or less true to color)
Forever Redeemed - it's so pretty I can't stop posting it )) The drop is not rain, it's dew
Last To The Buffet Line - registered as VL, like I say it's more like one of the first to the buffet line; too bad because it's not my favorite color combo, still don't think I can get rid of it..
Another late which blooms EM here - Willow Dean Smith. So pretty!
A few more in the comments..

Thanks for looking!

Comments (9)So, so pretty. I love the irish eyes too. Want a ton of reseeding alyssum - you need to plant the white kind! It reseds like crazy and I just leave it filling spaces (and keeping out weeds) until I have something to plant in the space. Then I have no problem yanking it out as I have so much of it. The "other then whites" for me are pretty (especially Royal carpet in the early spring) but not as lush and spreading. Your pictures are wonderful, always. Must be a combination of your talents and that wonderful clear Maine light. Sure is gorgeous up there. We use to camp along the coast every summer until the kids insisted we must go somewhere the ocean temps are a bit warmer for swimming! Sissies - I loved it. Nancy...See MoreFrost/Freeze 10/7 - 10/19
Comments (6)Just put something to hold the plastic off the plant like a TP made out of long posts or something depending on how tall it is and yes christmas lights put off a little extra heat as well. Make sure you water well before the freeze. You basically want to cover the plant to keep the cold wind from it and keep the frost from settling on it. I like breathable fabric if possible but make sure you undcover it during the day as long as its above freezing....See MoreWednesday 7-7-10 Only 3 today
Comments (9)Thank you all so much. Actually, I had a lot more than three blooming, but I have posted all of them before, and I decided that these three just needed to be posted. Debra, Jazz After Five has been such a gorgeous bloomer. So many days it has done just like today, begged to be photographed with so many blooms. You need it. You deserve it. It deserves to be grown by you. Chris and Ellie, It has bloomed so much, and every bloom seems to be perfect. The thrips haven't fazed it. That is a really good trait for a bloom to have, especially as bad as the thrips have been this year. Come on, You know you need it too. Rita, you don't need any Cinco de Mayo, do you? It has multiplied so much, I would be glad to send some of it to you....See MoreFridays Blooms 7/10
Comments (11)Nice group David. SCREEN PATTERN has a nice pattern showing. Carolina Cool Down looks a lot like ( but not exactly) Ribbit Ribbit which I grow here. I noticed that similarity when Debra has posted here photos of CCD. We had a couple of hours of light rain after midnight and suppose to get more later today. I don't count on it but at least the temp has dropped a bit today. Stay cool and hope for more rain. Julia...See Morenat4b
