Zuzu's Lowes rhodie for under $19, it's a beauty! The name is Percy Wiseman

Besides HD and Lowes, we hit 3 other nurseries and with a slight overcast day, it was perfect for photography. And there were lots of lovely blooms of all kinds.

and Zuzu picked up this little cutie, she is getting quite a collection of Pacific Coast iris.

And the beautiful colors of Koko Loco, what a beautiful form, just elegant! I could take 50 shots of it.

and one of my favorites, Westerland, we saw this in several nurseries.

And then this one came home with me, it was marked as Jacob's Robe but we believe it's a sport of it because all the blooms had a bit of streaks. Compared to all the other pots of JR around it, it was the only one like it. (not a sport, just an awesome looking bloom!)

And this one was tagless, drove me nuts. I photograph a lot of roses and have not seen one like, it didn't look familiar. I just love it's perfect mauvey pink bloom surrounded by all these exquisite buds to make it picture perfect.
