It was too cloudy to see the Northern Lights here, too. I did smell Chocolate Swirl. It smelled good. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day. My kids put together a nice bouquet for me. They each helped me in the garden for one hour.

Have a microclimate at our business where I work. Nice southern exposure against a wall and some bricks, too. I planted a whole bunch of noids and extras there last summer. They are really starting to bloom, including many tall bearded varieties. Will try to get some photos posted from my home garden tonight. I've been slacking. lol.

DaisyDo said: Third picture from the bottom looks a lot like Clarence.

Yes, it is Clarence. It grows like weeds at home, so I brought some to work. Also, have Flavescens pictured (light yellow) and Swertii. I think the darker pink one is Raspberry Sundae and the purplish and white one is a noid that I'm thinking may be Helen Collingwood. All the others are noids.

It was a beautiful day yesterday, but it poured rain when I got home from work. Have had mist, rain, and cooler weather today. These are some of the varieties that opened the last few days at my home garden.

Your season is moving right along. The TB's will be going strong soon.
