Same here, y'all! Have you ever seen Persian Ruby look like THIS? Brown!
And Bela Lugosi:
A number of other blooms were just not worth photographing. Redneck Reunion couldn't decide if it was opening yesterday or today. I haven't sprayed so I'm blaming the weirdly cool weather combined with horrible dryness for weeks, all chasing a rough winter. Occasional irrigation keeps 'em going but can inconsistently hydrate them.
