Very nice pictures Pam, Liking Dressed to Kill, and of course "Drunks"at Sunset is a knock out! Hilarious! Mine is starting to show color, so I'll get to see that one soon up close and personal. Good show, keep them coming.

Love Cosmic Vision and Chinese Empress. As to Drinks - I have to say I will now always think of it as Drunks At Sunset. Hilarious!

Giggle! 'Drunks at Sunset' does have kind of a ring to it!

Each year, I like Dressed to Kill more... have a clump shot coming up.

Magic Hope is gorgious! I've never seen it before. Very pretty. I got rid of Grape Expectations as it's blooms never were put together well for me here. I did like the color though.

Tom I thought G.E. was a bit over the top when I first put it in. The colors are just outlandish. As a clump it is a real attention getter.

I went through a major plicata phase years ago...still enjoy them. Drooling

Pam, I go through the phases too. Had a plicata year, a pink and purple year, and this year, lots of oranges, and a few blacks. Even ordered some white ones this year, don't have many of them, and they set off some of the other colors.
