Thanks for the comments. I would have used Reckless Abandon Paul, but it was all finished blooming by the time I decided to use this one. I have moved some RA to an outer bed to get a later bloom season for future years. The bloom seems to last a long time before it fades, we didn't have a lot of extra hot weather, but in the 80's a few days. I will post another one later, got back home last night quite late from my 50th class reunion.
