Lovely! I like Tiger by the Tail. Rather unusual markings and colors.

Such lovely blooms, everyone! I tip my hat to you. I gaze at them wistfully, because my lilies are pretty much done. Most of mine are midseason, since that trait is part of my hybridizing program. I did have a nice surprise this morning:

Everyone has such lovely blooms! And Ginny, what a lovely rock fountain! Lovey dubby I want one!!!

The day before yesterday there was another trio on 'December Wedding', yesterday there was a pair on 'Sacrament of Healing', yesterday and today there were single blooms on 'Four Eyes' and 'Winning Note', and also today there is a bloom on 'Coming Up Roses' - all of these are on rebloom scapes.

Since you guys encouraged me (you might regret that! nodding nodding ) I have started my pictures of my various gardens. Not sure if this is how I am supposed to tell you where it is, but I put it under the Forum Garden Photos, and named it I Moved And Started All Over With My Garden - Progression. I think this is a link: The thread "I Moved And Started All Over With My Garden - Progression!" in Garden Photos forum No one said I'm a techno genious and the grandkids aren't here to show me!!! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Hope you enjoy it and I hope I don't "overshare". I'll add more later but ran out of time!

I had missed August blooms, and I'm now 8 days into it. I'd been expecting a bloom, but my crazy dog bit it off, so I have nothing to show. Instead, I did eight days of drooling over these! Drooling Drooling nodding

@legalily
I will look tomorrow and see if it looks like rebloom. I'm not sure when it started blooming, but I will look back through my photos to see when I took the first photo.

I am just at peak bloom season here. Although it has been very dry,{ in fact, the woods of NS were closed yesterday to hikers, campers and ATVs for 2 weeks}, I manage to do some watering so my blooms are looking OK. These are a few I took this morning. I am always amazed at how different many blooms look from 7 am to pics later in the day.

VIVA PINATA--a long blooming season for this one.

Mary Anne,
I love Viva Pinata and Web of Intrigue. I should mention here that Mary Anne kindly shared with me Druid's Chant, Web of Intrigue and Tikal Maid. I am looking forward to seeing them bloom in my garden. Thank you, Mary Anne Thank You!
