plantladylin,
Oh, my garden is "a site to see"... Who ever said pictures don't lie?
The third one from the bottom is "Heaven's Portals", a far cry from what the first washed out, blotchy blooms early in the year looked like. This warm weather has completely transformed the pale colorless blooms resulting from those weeks in the 50 degree range.
GaNinFl,
The double purple is a small bloom, and I hope to be able to find out later in the year what it actually is. I was most impressed the with the purple in the first photo, a large beautiful bloom on a tall stout scape.
Well that may not actually be purple, but my color vocabulary is pretty limited, Red, Orange, Yellow, Purple, ....I asked my neighbor to come over the other day and help me with some colors, decorator or artist colors are beyond my descriptive abilities.
