Glen, I remember how I felt when I just began in dls 10 yrs ago. I was just blown away and today they have made so many advancements. It is fun to see where it is going

I cannot believe it. Absent-mindedly I left the camera out in the rain all night. I think it might be all over for it. As I was walking back from where I found it I noticed the final bloom of a rebloom of Olympic Showcase is a poly!! And of course the camera won't work. I have never seen or had a poly before: and I am helpless and no one well ever believe me.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
So sorry about your camera Glen. I for one believe that you really had a poly on Olympic Showcase
I equate finding a poly like finding a four-leaf clover in my garden. It doesn't happen very often, but I bet it happens more often than I realize. I just don't see them unless I'm specifically thinking about it or find it in a picture later. Here are some of mine that I did see in the past.
Please indulge me while I play with the BB codes. Cloudy Saturday morning and just having a little fun with formatting.
Moonlit Masquerade
Not a poly, but a fused bloom that I thought was a poly until I learned from the kind people here what it was.
I don't know why I keep this in my garden. It has never done well at all. Maybe I should move it to see it if does better and then decide whether to keep it or not.
Yes it is Mike. I got it as a freebie, and of course I'll take any freebies, but I sure didn't know that it looked like this. I really need to move it.

I am thinking that this may be a fused bloom instead of a poly. It appears to have two pistols and a poly would only have 1 pistol. I love seeing anomalies like these though and I even posted a picture of Moonlit Masquerade that is a fused bloom, just because it had so many petals. Nature can do some wonderfully weird things.
