The early ones are beginning to shut down their season while the late ones have just started with some still showing buds only. Those in the middle range are still performing. Here's one. It's another unknown ID. Really showy. The blooms have day-glo intensity which I can't capture in a photo. Too bad the blooms fade. I only grow two Achimenes that don't fade and one of those is white. No where to fade with white, I guess
.
And this one which I consider the first of the late blooming Achimenes. I think this one is 'Flamboyant', but I'm going to have to dig out the tag which is buried somewhere in the middle. I can't get the color right at all. This is the sort of coral or salmon orangish pinkish color you see in Impatiens. I can only seem to pick up the pinkness which isn't accurate. Very bright and almost identical to another one called 'Prima Donna' which has the first blooms this week. These will still be going when I start getting cold nights and frost.
