First bloom!

12 years ago

It was labeled (by me)"Frank Holmes' but it sure wasn't! IT was "Woodlands Merinda", just as plump and purple as can be! Its always such a joy to find the first bloom! I start mine way ahead in the greenhouse since it is so cool here. (I think we have only had 3 days over 70 degrees yet!). Next to bloom is a new one for me, "Groovy". I already love it even with it half open! Dark foliage and a beautiful red orange flower!

Would love to see some photos.
I'm a long way from blooms even though I started them early, too. I don't even have any buds yet.
