Late Bloomers

Here's three varities that have just bloomed, leaving me with 10 others who still haven't. I'm also throwing in a couple of new shots of some that bloomed a while ago, because these latest blooms are really perfect (I think.)

Enjoy.

Firepot
Firepot - MWL: 3" diameter flower on a 24" bush.

Gitts Perfection
Gitts Perfection - AID: 10" diameter flower on a 36" bush.

Lavender Ruffles
Lavender Ruffles - AAID: 12" diameter flower on a 36" bush.

...and now for a couple of really nice blooms...

Snowbound
Snowbound - AID: 9" diameter flower on a 48" bush.

Kids Stuff
Kids Stuff - BBST: 4" diameter flower on 48" bush.

Cheers,
Russ

My firepot is just about to bloom also. It is beautiful and I wonder if there is some way we can make it bloom earlier?

Well, I figure I can reduce the time by providing better lighting while they're starting and getting them growing earlier.

My spreadsheet says that to have them by the end of May you need to start the tubers on January 7, 2009...;-]

Cheers,
