Here's mine...

Pretty!! Mine are starting to bloom now.

Nice Patty! Chris I have 3 hens, and one is blooming, it just didn't look good in the photo so I cropped it out

In my experience Raspberry Ice blooms more than most of the other varieties I have.

Interesting Lynn!! I find that all my arachs bloom pretty readily! I bought baby star from SMG this spring and he gave me a nice clump of 6 chicks...all but 2 have bloomed out! Now if I were saving the seeds I would be happy

I think your observation is pretty accurate Greg. The arach/arach crosses do seem more prone to blooming. I lost almost all of the very generous colony of Hookerii. The entire tiny colony went to bloom right after I planted it. I did the surgery that twit taught me and did manage to save a few offsets from the altered rosettes.

Same here with the arachs blooming. I started a new bed in bright shade and I'm putting the arachs there to see if it helps.

I have 3 blooming out now too. and a couple i did a clip job on. maybe i can scare them into sending out chicks. .
All mine that are in the sun have lost all their red but i found a pot that only gets about 2 hrs morning sun still has a little red. about as much as yours Greg,
