You could never tell Just Crazy was a chimera. Looks great!

Nice pics of Parisian Dawn. Love that one, but mine didn't bloom this year.

That is what happened to two thirds of my TB's. They were so battered and heavy with rain that they looked like someone had tried to wring the water out of them. Some looked like big gobs of wet crepe paper. I am so enjoying yours, Tom, and hope the weather improves and they can continue the show.

Here's number 51, Foreign Legion. One I've had a while and like.

Tom....I didn't get to go to the convention this year but visiting your garden helps make up for that.

Number 53 is Wired.

A lot more blooming, but of course it's raining and windy today, funny how there was no rain in the forecast until it started.

Number 55 is Tango Amigo, such a good grower and I love the look too.

This is one you have to enlarge to see the detail.

Number 56 is Flame Amber. Guess I won't get better pictures since both bloom stalks have broken off.

Definitely Different is number 57. It hasn't relaxed, and didn't, the wind ripped it up. I'll try for some better pictures at some point in the future should we ever have a day of decent weather.

Flame Amber is gorgeous, what an unusual blend of colors!

Definitely Different is that color combo I love- those bright combos of purple and yellow over white always get me.

Can't fight the temptation, still looking.
