Yep. Pretty good incentive, but I do know how busy Sharon is these days.

These must be treasured and fancied heirlooms. So sweet you are willing to part with it.

Just went through all these pinks here again. So many, so beautiful. But one cannot have them all, can I?

I forgot this one of mine. Delicate and beckoning. 'Emma Tomlinson McHugh'. Notice the coverage of diamond dusting.


This is a more pink-coloured 'Cause for Pause' than that I posted earlier.

Long story behind those mugs, Glen.

Nice pictures, Glen. I am really liking ETM!

Me too, Vickie, I love it.
ETM really makes me want to get the brushes and canvas out.

And the light foreground with that dark background really makes that bloom pop!

Like Betty, "It turns out that I have more of these than I thought".
Fairy Tale Pink.... still a fav after 34 yrs.

When My Sweetheart Returns

Wow, Mike. You do have a lot. I like the On and On clump

Vickie, On And On blooms until frost in my garden. I have been on a quest to get most (not all ) of the renown rebloomers for my front borders. They are not always the prettiest but they keep blooming on and on. Got many of the Apps and some of Crichtons' best thus far. Got Mary Burgent Vineland L'uva last spring. Can't to see how it does around here this summer.

I actually copied the technique of using the flash, which also brings out the diamond dusting, from a photo of Debra's (if I remember properly).

Beloved Deceiver

Nice mini Glen.

Country Melody (Klehm, 1987)

Oldie but goodie

Very nice, Ed.

I love this shade of pink! and the form is so perfect

really nice Klehm
Makes for some nice pastel kids

Before I forget, this new pink blooming on my porch is now a favorite. I haven't tested it for colorfastness in the sun, but will give it a go for next bloom. Even if it ends up needing to live in the shade to show its best color, its a keeper!

It is a nice shade of pink, for sure

@chalyse, does it open better on warmer nights? Looks like it's not recurved and as full as it would be in warmer night. The color sure is richer than the other database shots so I'm getting cooler morning for you for this shot.
