Love Moonlight Mist, Bron.

Hope you are feeling better Glen, auto-immune disorders are the pits!

FFE on SARSAPARILLA another one I only bought in mid May. Nice substance. The shadow across it was a high wattle branch. When I shaded the bloom it was more yellow and not true to colour.


MOONLIGHT MIST was out also. Only a small plant, but has more buds.


Think this one only just still holding up in the evening was JEDI SUE McCORD. I bought it 4 years back but had lost track of it and SPLENDID TOUCH. This bloom was on a very short scape.


Yesterday BETTY WOODS had another beautiful bloom. It sure is a reliable double. And is still open the following day.

oops. It appears I did not post a piic of my FFE on MATCHMAKING MISS. The bud sat there for ages b4 opening, Not a big flower but it is an even richer red than the pic shows. It still looked good at 11pm.


Also MOONLIGHT MIST was out on 2 scapes.

Think I also missed posting PINK JUBILATION with a sepal perched back after I hosed it off.

Gorgeous blooms bron. I really do like Sarsaparilla and that bloom is wonderful. I can imagine the look is so much better in person. Love the diamond dust on Moonlight Mist.

Beautiful

Thanks everyone. I am getting there. The Bush-Stone-Curlews have hatched a gorgeous baby. They should bring it down to the garden today.

Flowering today are the not-so-bigs.

Very small.
STELLA BELLA


A little bigger.
PICCADILLY PRINCESS

Ooo, Glen, you can hold your hands out and warm them on that last one's color.

over that PICCADILLY PRINCESS. Nice photos Glen!

PICCADILLY PRINCESS flowered a lot for me in past years. It only has buds right now. Colour varied from light orange to dark orange pink. But don't recall it being ever quite as reddish as that. It gets rust badly although at the moment the air is pretty dry. I have some sdlgs from it. One has flowered and is a bright and warm yellow so I call it 'Sun of P P'

Last bloom on scape today for PINK JUBILATION. Shows dark pink in the sepals. Across the day the yellow and green throat become more prominent.

KIMBERLY SUE has more buds. It is nearly the same colour as a pink snapdragon near it.

Kimberly Sue and the snapdragon sounds like a nice combination!

Last flower on scape for BE THINE
GARDEN GODDESS has ore buds although aphids look like they had feast.
Last bloom on scape for JERRY PATE WILLIAMS. It is a little more pink than the pic. The rose 'Crepuscule' near it has lots of buds which match it perfectly. Hope when JPW reblooms there are more rose blooms. So lucky to be able to water every 2 or 3 days.

Hope some of Della's buds are opening at last.

oops. will replace duplicate post with today's blooms:
KIMBERLY SUE in the sun and wind.

SARSAPARILLA not able to keep still.

This one is from the footpath of an old house. When it was sold the new owners were digging stuff out. I call it 'Charles St Gold'. Looks a bit like the one Glen posted and doesn't like.
I recently dug it up from where the wallabies have eaten it to the ground for 2 years. Good that got rid of any rust. It is just a huge clump of clay in a bag,shaded by cardboard atm until I dig some more ground.

Nice blooms.

very nice!

meant to include this water dragon in the edit of my duplicate post. Lots of them around now. need to move the bromeliad as my son chopped down some of the viburnum that was shading it. A pity that vib. is a bit invasive

HIGH ENDEAVOUR is flowering away.

Gorgeous Glen

Thank you!!
This is a noid flowering yesterday that my cousin, Jack, sent me down from the tropics at Rockhampton, Central Eastern Queensland. I didn't notice it was flowering to late.


The parent Bush Stone-curlews brought their baby right down into the daylilies today.

NIGHT WHISPERS handled well a very sunny and windy spring solstice day.
MATCHMAKING MISS looks even better in person. Sorry about the beads of water looking dotty.

Poor JEDI SUE McCORD had been battered by wind and sun and couldn't handle being watered.

The wind had MOONLIGHT MIST jumping around so much I couldn't get a pic. There will be more.
