Just tuning in and wanted to share a few pics.
A small, older beauty from Wild in 1960, a bit like Bertie Ferris, but nicer, is Melon Balls, which I've enjoyed for 20 years. I've seen it in this thread, but here are a couple more. The first one has a golden glow about it, and the second, taken later in the day, showws the amazing corrugation and texture of the petals. Always a reliable bloomer in July.

Siloam Double Classic is described as a bright pink self, but it has more of an orange glow much of the time. Purchased in 2004, I've found that is rarely fully a double.

Lake Norman Sunset was also introduced in this thread.Having enjoyed it also for 20 years, I find it moves through the range of orange to peach to pink. Thumb of 2020-02-03/HemNorth/8be824

I've enjoyed this thread, and hope I can find some more to add.
