I've been enjoying your photos since you started posting them, Zoia. If I were a judge, you would have gotten extra credit on this one for all those awesome buds. All that garden potential brewing back there rivals the blooms for me.

Maya Blue was a real trooper this summer! She bloomed for over a month, more than doubled herself, going from 3 fans to seven and I counted at least 61 blooms. Plus it's a great looking flower!
