Fernstone is doing its regular bloomfest:

Firecracker Parade

Foust is turning everything on its end

Tavaris Multicolor struggled and I took its phot in the sun which is not the best light, but it is a bloom

And finally, my daughter and son-in-law sent me roses from 1-800-Flowers today which was a sweet surprise.

Nice to see your blooms, I really like the form and look of Firecracker Parade. What a lovely bouquet from you Daughter and her husband! My sons do not tend to recognize Mother's Day. My husband always took me out for dinner and got gifts for them to give me.

My favorite is the sweet thoughtful gift of the roses!! If the storms and hail stays away, the blooms should be really popping soon!!

All lovely blooms! Stellas Ruffled Fingers sounds like a bloom machine everywhere. Chance Encounter is such a pretty color. Mine has about 2 buds left. And my favorites today are Love On a Wire and Ornate Ruffles. Oh, I was glad you posted Marchioness, never heard of it, but as soon as I saw a pic I thought about my one noid that I bought as Saint Fiacre. AHS pic of Marchioness looks very close to what I have. I don't take many pics of my pseudo St.Fiacre because it's quite a bad opener. But it is late, and bloom size and description seem to match.

iris_gal, Sir John Betjemen is a great rose for a pot. He is about 3' tall and 3.5' wide. His color changes some with the weather, darker when cooler and lighter when it's hot. He does not have a lot of fragrance but he flowers a lot and the flowers last a long time on the bush. No disease here in SoCal.

These are all lovely, but there is no doubt in my mind that if I had a spot with afternoon shade I would have Grandmother's Hat. Her blooms did not last even half a day in the sunny spot I had her, but how I'd love to see her in the right place.

Maryl - Yes, that's Maui Sunrise. It.s a hard dormant that would overwinter beautifully in a pot. Julia - Are the Maui Sunrise blooms huge for you? I didn't measure, but they seemed even bigger than 7 inches yesterday. Thanks so much for that one. In the past two years, it's bloomed when the temps were near 100 and it was very faded. I'm seeing now what the bloom really looks like. It's always orange here, and doesn't have the reddish tones it has for you. Debra

Thank you both. Nancy, tell those boys it is time to start remembering their mother. They are old enough to know better. That is the first time any of my kids have sent me cut flowers. My son often brings plants for me since they all know I love flowers.

Although my granddaughter, Krystal, sent me orchids once.

You are right about the blooms popping, Kate. It won't be long.

Always nice to see your daylilies, but I'm most taken with the roses. Those lavender ones are one of my favorite colors in roses. In the landscape, lavender roses are usually very fragrant. A wonderful remembrance of love from you Daughter and DH........Maryl

Fernstone is looking prettier with each photo you post. Firecracker Parade does have a pretty bloom. Is the plant still struggling for you? What a pretty Mother's Day arrangement of roses. So many pretty colors in there!

Thank you Maryl and Debra for looking and commenting.. I was quite surprised with the roses, Maryl. They are beautiful but don't have the intense fragrance of the OGR. Debra, the fans on Firecracker Parade are short and the blooms so far are a bit in the foliage but it appears to be growing pretty well. There are five fans and five scapes. I did keep it in the greenhouse that first year so this is the second in-ground year.

I have several first year plants from Ladybug daylilies that have put up scapes and another couple of other newbies that have scapes.

We are having a short blessed cool spell which mayslow blooming down a bit. I have a couple of plants that are two or three years old (one of each) that have their first scapes this year,

Kay: You have a lot of buds on Fernstone. Firecracker Parade looks good for a first bloom. Nice bouquet your daughter and son-in-law sent. Enjoy Mothers Day.

Thank you for looking and commenting. Fernstone is usually my first to bloom although it didn't quite bloom first this year.

I love Firecracker Parade--such a striking bloom. Unfortunately for us, it didn't like our climate.

The roses are lovely--such a wonderful array of colors!
