Well deserved, Melissa.

Some new blooms out in the OC. First up is Grt. Why Not (Gur. aurantiaca x Bro. sanguinea). Pardon the quality of these pics but the bright red was hard to control tonight.

Then there is Bc. Marg Putman (C. intermedia x Bc. Morning Glory) and I found a bunch of scale on it. I fixed that problem before hanging it back up. It has really adapted well to wood mount.

Rby. Golden Tang (Rlc. Waikiki Gold x Bc. Richard Mueller) is back blooming again. It is really getting to be a large plant.

Finally, another Richard Mueller cross, Bc. Hoku Gem 'Freckles' (C. Tangerine Jewel x Bc. Richard Mueller)

We had heavy rain about 10:00 PM last night but it was rain free today. The lake has dropped about 6 inches and is right even with the walkway on my neighbor's dock. My neighbor told my we have had over 30 inches of rain in August alone.
