Rosy Returns FFO after no spring bloom this should be rebloom time

Genesta still pumping out the blooms

I couldn't pick a favorite today. Oh my!
Genesta

Mercer seedlings

I'm thinking that the best way to approach my bloom photos is like going to an old car show;
"Look at that one! Mom used to grow it back in the twentieth century."
"Isn't that a Klehm introduction over there?"
"I didn't know anyone still grew Multnomah."

My eyesight has mostly recovered but you may notice that a couple of these run out of the frame a bit. We are also being cursed by rain. I awoke to .01 inches of rainfall last night for the third morning in a row. Between the moisture and the rapidly decreasing bloom I just don't have much. So here goes;



BROADWAY SMILES
Diminutive (pony size, is that term still used?) lilac charmer


BILL FALL
Red red red


SOLI DEO GLORIA
I get plenty of blooms but more than half are malformed due to cold morning temperatures. I really can't grow it here. I should just dig it and pitch it but I like the blooms so much I can't bring myself to do it.


DANCES WITH GIRAFFES
I'm dancing in the rain - with giraffes.

With no more rain than dew
I leave you with my few
Be back in a day or two
I bid you all adieu

@SunriseSide Dave, that is a weird bloom cycle on Rosy Returns. Loving @3Will and your Genesta blooms. I probably won't see my first bloom on Genesta until this weekend. Love the others that was posted also.

Me too. So glad I did.

There is more Genesta to go around. Clump need dividing. Mine should be blooming soon.

Steely Blue Eyes with Platycodon (balloon flower)

Char said: Are you sure? Looks like We Dare to Bare to me. White midrib, narrower segments than Down Home... plus there's pleating.

Char's right it is WE DARE TO BARE. I was right the first time. Here is DOWN HOME;



Thanks Char

Wise Man

I finished filling two of my back fence beds and had time to take some photos over the past two days.
A couple of Flore Pleno pics.


A mini NOID:

A rare shot of a clump of 'The Jury's Out' because only one bloom was open.

'Traffic Light': By local Hybridizer BJ Yance

'Take Me Along':

'J T Davis':

'El Desperado':

'Condilla': I have really been pleased with how this plant spaces out the blooming time just opening one or two blooms per day. New this year but becoming an admired addition.

'Little Romance': The scape on this plant is much taller than expected.

'Ginormous': This huge bright bloom grabs my attention any day it is blooming.

'Dietmar's Wisdom' Taking a while for me to warm up this one, but it's performance is winning me over.

'Lillian's Soft Echoes':

'Fancy Border': Like 'Beautiful Edgings' here in my garden, the edge on this flower is seldom noticed.

'Spacecoast Royalty': Splotchy after a little shower, bloom way more affected than on other plants.

'Blazing Cannons': This has been a favorite all year, love the big thick scapes and the beautiful blooms, hope to have better luck next year setting pods.

'Grand Palais': This one bloomed after I transplanted it.

'Buddy's Betty': Surprised by the late rebloom on this plant, Buddy told me it was vigorous.

'Aldersgate': I was trying to like the big bloom on this plant, but it just folds up on itself and so far has not produced a bloom I really like.

'Edge of Shangrila':

'Eaten On Safari': I think by next year this plant will be doing much better.

'Winter Memories'

'Chan Dom Vongtirath': Nice late rebloom on a sculpted relief plant in something other than cream, yellow or orange.

'Aliens In The Garden"

Started raining and had to quite before I got down to the bog.

SUNNY INTERVALS
with valerian lurking behind

Larry, I really like your pictures of Flore Pleno. Sometimes wish I still had it, but really don't have an area where I can let it do its thing.
