Gorgeous rain or shine! This is one of my dormant favorites. I like the vibrancy of the glowing color- snappier hues than parent Fooled Me, thanks to the contribution of the pink/red Dragon's Eye. Last Fool Standing is well-named; it has a really long bloom season thanks to robust rebloom that often extends to a light third round of scapes here. The rebloom scapes are taller and show even wider branching. Best of all, this cultivar is RIDICULOUSLY fertile once one gets initial pods set on the scape. Here is another image from late June 2023:

This image (from late July '22) shows branching and possibly bud-building:

Increase has been good, despite all that blooming. After two years, the TF formed a clump that needed dividing.
