July 1 and happy to have any blooms in this hot weather; however, we have escaped the worst and today there were some clouds and it is supposed to be cloudy tomorrow with a gasp! slight chance of rain. There is some good news to report--the two inch rain we had a couple of weeks ago has caused new scapes to pop out, so there should be some more flowers coming along.
This is a select group of blooms today--
Claudine's Charm
Iszy Dizzy
Westbourne Good Old Days
Mama Drama--these are from a second set of six scapes--the first set of scapes were pretty bad, so the second set with much better flowers was a wonderful surprise.
Rainbow Mesa--another great surprise with two new scapes--Hanson does not list this as a rebloomer, so maybe a longer bloom season might do the trick.
Work It Girl--great favorite and last bloom
Brown's Ferry |Royalty--really frilly today
Snowboarding
Spanish Fandango
Ashwood Dark Side
Sweet Isabela--lovely, but the heat fades out the color, it should be much darker than this.
Astral Voyager--amazing that this plant has produced two more scapes
Lovestruck Linda--planted about two months ago and already putting out nice blooms.
