Really nice pinks, all of them !
I assume they're all the Dormant type given your location, right ?

I can't grow the D's here at all. They always rot in the winter when we get heavy rains and the soil stays saturated. All the ones I like the best are Dormants !

Thank you Betty! The pinks were very pretty this year, I couldn't believe how vibrant they were, especially Pink Playmate, which is my second favorite pink right now, I've had it 3 years, first year it was a pale pink.

Those are beautiful. I have a soft spot for pink. Always pretty and the ones with the white to cream wavy ruffles are so very pretty like Natalie Antoinette Lovey dubby . Yummm.

Really beautiful, Sue! And I do love your NATALIE ANTOINETTE and LESLIE RENEE named for your daughter and granddaughter the most. But I also really love your CLOWN'S CABARET too. In fact, they're all absolutely gorgeous!

I have Malaysian Monarch somewhere....it's really nice, too. Not blooming at the moment.
Cameroons' blooms (for me anyway) are so THICK, the petals feel like plastic. Love that one.

I tried Bela Lugosi once...big disappointment. It was like a dark grayish brown color.
