This picture was taken August 13th... but it's been blooming for at least a week now with three stalks.. It seems to go off every 5-6 weeks from April on... 'Grape Echo'
So nice to see blooms! Nice pics Marilyn & Sherry! Wish my dwarfs would get the urge to re-bloom. At least two of them look to have enough growth so send up stalks.....

I'll bet your SDB's re-bloom in October/November like they do here, Leslie. I have had two re-bloom in early September but that was very odd as those two always bloom in November. No stalks on the others but if Sun Doll does not re-bloom it will be a first.

I was wondering if they would bloom in October or so. We are just starting to get cooler nights now, and temps more to their liking. I would be so happy to see a re-bloom! There is a chance Immortality might try too since it has had a lot of growth over the summer (only had one bloom in the spring ).

Mary Ann, I believe it to be much older than Amain. The fellow I got it from believed it to be in his grandmother's garden from at least the 30's or 40's.. But I will look into the heritage of Amain and see if anything fits..

Oh. I keep them both open and just click on the tab at the top of the screen to keep up with the sites I visit frequently. I don't know what click twice would mean otherwise..... but there is a lot I don't know. lol When those in the know check these posts perhaps they can let us know an easier way.
