Since this is the Itoh thread, here are a few pictures of the Itoh at Meadowlark Botanical Garden today. They don't have many Itohs, and their Bartzella and Cora Louise haven't opened yet. Their newish plant labeled Morning Lilac isn't ready to bloom either, but I'm watching for it since last year's bloom was disformed and not purple.
Four really full and lovely Keiko's in the Korean Bell Garden. One winter I saw a label for that says Pink Double Dandy/Keiko among these bushes when they were cut down. To the left along the brick wall under the Korean writing there are two Cora Louise, but they fail to impress. Their blooms are large but only last a few days, meanwhile it seems that these Keiko's bloom for 3 weeks.
Singin in the Rain. This plant is too close to the Pink Hawaiian Coral in the front, and since it is much shorter than it, it is hard to see.
From my yard today, Bartzella with Sonoma YeDo. I was curious if they're the same shade of yellow. They are, and they both have flares.
Watermelon Wine bloomed today, too. While this plant has a vivid eye catching color, I wish it wasn't single.
