Ginny. I think the kind of info u give about BORN TO BE WILD is great. I think it shld b more widely known that an individual plant can show such variation. Also that even with the best intentions photos can be very different from the actual bloom colours. I was shocked a few yrs back that I could take photos of the same bloom seconds apart and the colour range was extraordinary. That was back b4 my camera went wonky.

Excellent day for plants (and rust) Overcast so bright light but n direct sun. And !!! no wind.
VICTORIA LACE struck the right time to flower
MALENY EYECATCHER not only flowers like crazy and sets bee pods, it has proliferations !! First I have seen on it.

HOT WIRE (not NAGASAKI)

Bron, I think it is wonderful that you have been able to identify Chardonnay. I remember how excited I was when I took some blooms to a lady and she positively identified them for me. She wasn't able to tell me a few, but there were two (Outrageous and Condilla) that I now know for sure what they are.

Hot Wire is looking good

Ooooh! La La! on the bloom photos!!!!

Them Drop Bears are every where.

Thanks for the link, Glen. I had no idea!

I am behind again. Lots of reblooming and some stunning seedlings flowering over the coming days. Swoon.

FFOs.
HEMEROCALLIS LILIOASPHODELUS. Only this one bloom this far this season. Doesn't make sense. It is usually an early bloom machine. (I hate photographing yellows and I didn't do this well).

CHESAPEAKE BAY


WESTBOURNE TID BIT x JOSIE 2014222. Three blooms in a row were polys. Then this ended the dream. But two days later its finaly bloom for the season was a poly. Four out of five isn't bad, do you think? Now, if I could only find that last photo.



Rebloomers
PURPLE RIOT is back with masses of blooms. Well, a lot.

Goodness, I am worried Bron isn't keeping her eye out for drop bears.

Great blooms - your new Avatar photo cracks me up

Me, too, Ginny.

I like this one, Glen.

Not many blooms y'day
SILOAM BO PEEP
TANG PORCELAIN
MALENY EYECATCHER
Big Red NOID
CRIMSON ICON is a frequent bloomer
EBONY JEWEL
HURRICANE SKY
CHINESE SPIRIT also still showing insect damage

Live Chinese Spirit

All lovely blooms Glen. That rain sure resurrected my plants. The insects are out in full force.
Love the edging on CHESAPEAKE BAY. Is it really that beautiful lavender colour?

Lots of blooms out on a good overcast not hot day
First ever sdlg of mine to bloom. It was a bee pod 3 yrs ago on PICCADILLY PRINCESS. I didn't striate them and they took so long to germinate I had given up on them. Am calling it 'Sun Of Piccadilly'. Took lots of pics but all were blurry
So far the sdlg is small on a small plant. It goes well with KATHY ROOD

I think this is the same plant as the big orange NOID. ?????
hard to take pic while holding back the tall salvia VINTAGE BORDEAUX
CHANGING LATITUDES is pretty nice I think. The petal colour is more peach a bit lighter than in the reverse side pic. The eyezone is grey-blue

LOIS HALL looking darker today and less insect damaged
MAKING WHOOPEE
FFOS on IN SEARCH OF ANGELS
FFOS on ROSES IN SNOW which appears quite rust resistant
CRIMSON ICON
NOID which I call 'Weigelia Yellow' Seems to be both sculpted and crepe ??
This was what I was sent instead of POJO. The seller called it 'Double Sunshine' but it is not the registered one.
I am always delighted by TROPICAL HEAT WAVE

Also escaping the drop wallabies is VICTORIA LACE Same flower with pics seconds apart.

Bron, the colour was accurate. The next lot of buds fell off the following day in the heat. Another scape is coming, however.

Yes, I suspect you are right about our orange noids being the same but we still don't know what it is. It is a pity the old Australian web sites are gone. It is a good vigorous and bloom-full parent to play with and put backbone into some of those modern blooms.
