florange said:I'm finally getting around to posting more pictures. Lots of blooms, but most days only 1 or 2 additional cultivars start to bloom. This is one SLOW season!!
It's really great to see the pictures that other people are posting. Lovely blooms, everyone!

Vera McFarland Memorial

That's a gorgeous flower by Kinnebrew. I was privileged to know Vera McFarland during the last decade or so of her life, and have her intro: Marjorie Kinnebrew (also a double).

Gorgeous, all of them.

Wow! Leaves one rather speechless! Truly amazing all of them!

Today's blooms

FFO on Peach Piecrust (with friend)




Better By Design looking wonky today



NOID that I just adore. I love reds! This is a nice big bloom too.




FFO NOID. This is the first time this has bloomed for me & I'm silly over the beauty of it! It has lovely diamond dusting but I was not able to capture that in the photo.

That pink NOID is soooo nice! And, incredible form for an FFO, too

I am very pleased with it! She's going to get special placement in the garden.

Ann, it is a very, very attractive bloom, the pink noid.

This first one is the most amazing bloom -- absolutely huge (like 9") and incredible! No picture could do it justice, and I love love love it! And they were so right when they wrote in the descriptions for these that the green areas are wonderfully diamond dusted -- plus this bloom looked like this all day long and really didn't change. Thank you Guy and Karen for including this as a gift plant!
AMETHYST PRISM (G. Pierce, 2014)

METRO MARKET - a little one


ORCHID SATIN


LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL


BLUEGRASS CANDY

GREAT BLUE HERON


SAWYER'S GIGGLES

Lovely blooms Betty. I love how you show 2 pics of each, one shade and one sun.

Lots of Blooms today, but again for the third or fourth day in a row, hard rains that make the blooms look beat up.
So I won't show some of the 'blooms with their hair still in rollers and no makeup on look", I will wait for them to have a better hair day. Still a few of the blooms came out looking pretty good. I have been trying for three days to get a decent picture of Volusion Spider, but no luck so far. It really does not have the spider look to it, but I do think it is going to be beautiful when the hard downpours stop.

Parisian Adventure
This bloom was perfect even after the rain:
(It is actually the best looking bloom so far, did not actually like the first few that much).


Not for sure yet what this is, waiting on another plant to bloom


Red Apparition:


My first bloom on Crimson Pirate, much smaller than I was expecting, but beautiful little bloom that held up very well in the rain.

Parisian Adventure is quite neat and appealing.

Is your second noid nocturnal?

Gleni
Not for sure, haven't really checked, but I don't believe it to be so.

Seed, these are of the species H. citrina from my garden.

Beautiful everyone!!!! And I would love to name my favorites but today all I can think of since seeing it is Amethyst Prisim!!!! It just blows me away. Guess what just went on my must have list? And I promised myself no other dl's would go on my list unless they were late bloomers.

Amethyst Prism certainly caught my eye.

I have just planted Pikes Peak. A to be cool nearly 4' scape height. But Amethyst has a 9.5' bloom.

Pike's Peak is gorgeous too!

Blooms today:

BLACK BRIAR BAY - FFO AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Debra!




BELLS AND WHISTLES - FFO Another from Debra & I'm in love twice today!




CARPENTER SHAVINGS - FFO




BETTER BY DESIGN

American Splendor bloomed for the first time today. It's one of my favorites

Very nice!
