Tom, if you can spare any Desert Moth, I'd be happy to trade something!

Desert Moth is nice, but the color of the beard is more rust color. The camera made it look more red orange. It's a bit too young to divide yet this year. Sorry Jan.

Magic Mirror is a new one for me. Very pretty I think.

Foolish Dreamer did really well for me this year.. I wasn't sure last year if I liked it, but after it got going, it was just covered in blooms... and they just kept coming!

Samba Queen is beautiful, as are Desert Moth and magic Mirror..

I have a soft spot for palominos

Don't give him any ideas Rob!

He was moving around so fast it was hard to get a picture. I was using the zoom and auto focus and I missed some really cute shots because he didn't stay put long enough for the camera to focus well. He was so enamored by all the flowers that he just ran from one to another, while his parents were in a state of panic thinking he'd pick one.
