That last one is yummy

Thank you Ginny. It stopped me in my tracks. My seedlings usually are plain.

Looks like a winner to me.

Glen. I don't think many of your sdlgs are plain. However, like your garden party visitors, I do like 'self' blooms. They also make nice foils to the more patterned ones. But I guess next to the "here am I standing up to be counted" Thin Man sdlg, the others look plain.

My big Red NOIDs in full sun were cooked by 10am. My camera was so hot I had to come inside. Not lots out today.
FFOS on DENALI but only a (huge) single
FFOS in PALACE JEWEL
PJ has been dug up by something so lucky it still lives. Probably looking for worms in the compost I put underneath them as they are growing in pure clay (but on a slope). I relocated my small remnant of BEYOND THUNDERDOME as it too was dug around, yet again.
VINTAGE BORDEAUX, shaded for now
LOIS HALL
CHINESE SPIRIT in part shade and not properly opened

?? WHITE OPAL
CRIMSON ICON

It is a nice bloom Chinese Spirit, Bron.

Took more pics before nightfall. One of the CHINESE SPIRIT blooms was poly as it often was last season.
Don't know how I missed more blooms on the lovely TANG PORCELAIN
This was supposed to be a near white of great substance. It still hadn't opened properly this evening. I wonder if I got it mixed up with FORBIDDEN FANTASY which I bought around the same time??


VINTAGE BORDEAUX looked good tonight even after 32 deg C today. Now the sun rises and sets almost at SE and SW respectively (about 60 and 300deg from North), it is partly shaded all day.

FFOS on JUST CELEBRATE
I was pleased to see it as wallabies ate another one completely to the ground.

The tepals of LOIS HALL are starting to be a deeper shade than earlier blooms

FFOS on PREPPY. Sorry it is blurry. I don't know why the depth of field is so poor in bright light. I took several pics and the others were worse !!!

This Oriental Lily (maybe Friso) is 7 foot tall. It helps shade the daylilies. I have had a few blooms inside as they are very fragrant but one of the cats is a bit of a munchie monster.
'Maleny Eyecatcher' sure is a good bloomer

Maleny Eyecatcher still catches my eye

My Just Celebrates dropped all their buds. So no flowers this season. I am not amused!

This season I too have had a few cultivars drop every bud. Annoying when trying to identify them or sdlgs. Also many are not opening properly.
Not lots out today. But both VINTAGE BORDEAUX and EBONY JEWEL. They look a similar colour but VB has a greener throat. EJ has a bit of a chevron eyezone/throat. EJ sure is jewel like. Pics for both vary with the light.


ROSES IN SNOW is opening better

Still can't take a decent pic of CRIMSON ICON
LOIS HALL is a standby

All lovely Glen. CARROT CAKE looks like it glows. It and BILINGA are stunners.
Today I had my eyes checked. Will have cataract surgery some time next year.
Yesterday I transplanted LAVENDER ARROWHEAD and DAKAR. Hopefully now in part shade they will do well.

ing over that 'Carrot Cake' and 'Bilinga', but that Puppy Bloom is about the most unusual form of any I've seen in a while.

that those two transplants perform better for you in the shade.

Hate to tell you this Bron but the pic you posted of Roses in Snow does not look at all like Roses in Snow.

ROSES IN SNOW

Well, I have had the buds drop quite a bit this month. So disappointing. I have two clumps of Laura Harwood that are usually bloom machines. The picture above is one of the only two blooms I got this season. Tragic. I have a green throat breeding program where I was to cross back some of its seedlings to it. Sob. Another year older.

I want this one, please.

PUPPY BLOOM

Bron, they eye specialist showed me a picture of my lens last week. He said it is unnecessary to act just yet but I have great trouble distinuishing colours in low light. This is a pain when putting coloured paper clips and beads on blooms I pollinate.

Glen you'll need to let us know if your Puppy Bloom came from a seedling Adorable

She is Lucy and is a friend's love.


They also dropped round for morning tea yesterday to see the second bloom of King Kahuna X 42nd Street #KF2016,15,1
