I missed several blooms when I was away, including a few FFOs and FFEs. But I did find several lovely blooms waiting for me.

This one has shown a lot of rust, so I have a feeling it will have to find a new home.

you got the May blooms off to a great start Nan! Swedish Girl is pretty, nice form & color on Dynamite Returns. Oh that's to bad Yesterday Memories has rust. I grew it years ago, remember it being a clean pink with lots of blooms.

YOGA MAN


BLUEGRASS SHADOWS


PRICKLY PLUM

Great blooms, everybody--Nan, really do like Embrace Diversity. Not a lot here but with the weather getting ready to flip-flop from quite cool to Summer with temps approaching the nineties in a couple of day, the flowers should at least open better.
Katherine Caldwell/Dragonfly Dawn --not the first bloom but now opening the way they should. I do love that lime green color on the throat and sepals. This plant has 11 scapes.

Happy Returns--FFO--six plants just about ready to do lots of blooms.
