Geneva Firetruck, much taller scrape today. Still kinda in the foliage but but this bloom is worth it.

I was directly in the path of the remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha, so I've had rain pretty much non-stop since 9 AM. I had to go out around 7 PM, put up the extension ladder, ascend in my slicker, and dig handfuls of silver maple seed pods out of a gutter drain. The gutter was a 10' wide waterfall.

Today's pics were taken as the rain started, but before the flowers all opened. They did open the rest of the way. Although I went out to live-head in the rain, I didn't take more pics.

All I can say about poor Goldie Fritz is that the thrips really think she's tasty. I added granulated Bio-Advanced 3-in-1 to the pot, even though it says not to use in pots. I'm sorry, bees and other beneficials... the thrips have got to go.

Today brought more Scarlet Orbit blooms too, mostly on 2" tall scapes. I must have the fans planted too deep. I'll re-pot once first bloom cycle ends. I didn't take more pics.

More pics of Coming Up Roses, which I really do like despite my phone's complete inability to capture the color accurately. Not FFOs.



Y'all have way better flowers than me.

Totally out of the blue, it hit me that Goldie Fritz is a Complete Self, including stamen filaments and anthers. That is, unless you count the pale sections where the thrips have devoured all the tasty petal tissue.

'Pray Without Ceasing' on this rainy morning. Not much of an edge but still lovely

Jill that's one of my favorites.

Karen and Debra, Bitsy has bloomed as early as April twenty eight in 2018. It is loaded with scapes as usual.

So many beautiful blooms. You all are putting up a wonderful show. To many favorites to mention. Fred, that's a lot of seed pods sir... I thought you were scaling back.

Well my daylily beds are looking more like daylily beds instead of weed beds with daylilys in them.
Betty the two Gossard cultivars are gorgeous pastels are elegant, and they look huge. There are so many more that are beauties.
