It is very nice. You might try listing it on the LA, I bet someone would snap it up and be using it next season.

This is quite an eye opening thread.

I was going to be smart and suggest someone should use "Polly want a cracker" but Herr did last year. Sniff.

I like the look of Baxter's SWIM BIKE RUN despite the exertful name.

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 Rolling my eyes.

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.

Necessity is the mother of a new camera.

For you Teresa:
the OLYMPIC SHOWCASE poly.

Sadly it will take me a while to work out how to use this new Nikon Coolpix.

Glen, that bloom looks more like a double rather than a poly. Pretty neat though.

I need to watch the Youtube tutorial on my Canon camera. It has a lot of features that I don't use Sad

CLEDA JONES is reblooming this morning. Is this a poly Cynthia?

So sorry about your camera Glen. I for one believe that you really had a poly on Olympic Showcase Smiling

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.

Panama Hattie and South Sea Enchantment

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.

Glen, it looks like you got your poly picture! Did you borrow a camera or were you able to get yours working?

And I love the thongs Green Grin! Made me laugh!

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.

Vickie, that is good news that they are polys!!!! I am over the moon.

I got a new camera last month. It is Nikkn Cool Pix. I am still getting used to it. My little Cannon is sorely missed.

This is a poly Apricot Sparkles had a couple of years ago. It's not suppose to poly, but this time it did. :)

-I'd forgot but I labeled the bloom as having 13 petals.

Nice color on Apricot Sparkles, cats1!

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.
