    So nice, Marie. That Kanjana Yellow is very pure. Does the color hold for you quite a few days or does it fade?

    Thank you, thank you all for super nice comments.

    The bloom looks exactly like the picture in the catalog only it is little smaller. Because the branch is very young, within 3-4 inches. I hope to see bigger bloom when the branches get older.

    Those are beautiful, Marie. The Diamond Galaxy is quite stunning with it's
    pointed petals.
    That Diamond Ring is one I have seen on Kwarunee's list and have often thought of getting it. I am more inclined now after seeing yours. I love the bloom, but the leaves are something else. This is a Swazicum, I believe or "x" of sorts.

    Marie,

    I love the Galaxy Diamond. Your pic of Diamond Ring looks so much better than any I've seen advertised.

    Congrats on these great looking blooms!

    Very beautiful. I'm just into DR now. I love to know where you get your
    DR. And how to take care in the winter. Thanks

    Thank you every one.....this is slow season now...each of us is holding back the summer weather and not wanting to face the winter ahead of us.

    Cona, I got my DR all over, most of them in Houston, but some from Thailand, Tawain, and Florida.

    Winter, I brought them in my garage I kept light on. I will try something different this year. I had friends who uproots all their DR, wash off the dirt and take off all leaves, stack plants on shelves. I will ask her permission to post some pictures for you to see.

    Cona, if you can wait until next year, (maybe April) I will give plenty of info for buying DR.

    Oregon is cold state, your growing season is shorter and it takes your plants longer time to mature.
