COMING ALIVE - One of Maryott's new Summer 2012 introductions. It's a pure bright red, although the sepals were lighter on this first flower, but I think the sepals will eventually be the same color. I love it, even though this bloom is pretty splotchy. It's a larger flower than RENDITION, which I also like. Right now I have it in a pot, but Bill says it's sunfast so I'm starting to look for a spot in the garden...
I only have buds left on Indian Ripple rebloom. I was hoping on more reblooms this year, since we had such an early spring. But the drought probably affected this. Heck, even Stella didn't rebloom this year!
